Hello all,

Is it still standard to write "sola" and "tutte" for feminine instruments, like the viola? Or has regularization taken over (as in "cellos," "concertos," etc).

In English instruments do not have gender, so it would be a bit overkill. Viola is fininine? Who knew????

But this is the kind of Question that Andrew probably has an answer for. I've never seen these in parts.
