Re: [Finale] Re: Trombone clef in early music

[David H. Bailey]

Some will understand by looking at the clef that it should be played on 
alto trombone.  Others will look at it and think it is a mis-printed 
viola part.  These reactions will of course depend on the nature of the 
ensembles which will be playing the music.  Many amateur trombone 
players never learn to play other than bass clef and many have no clue 
there is such a beast as the alto trombone, being used to only the tenor 
and bass trombone.

You should specifically label the part "Alto Trombone" if you want it 
played on alto trombone.
