Frankly, for MIDI purposes I see no point to having separate Bb and
A piccolo-trp. sounds--esp. inasmuch as trumpeters notoriously use
whatever instrument they feel like regardless of what the composer
wrote.
Nor, for that matter, do I see much sense in attempting to
differentiate D and Eb clarinet sounds--especially since we are
talking about artificial *imitations* of these sounds in the first
place. In order for such a distinction to be justifiable, the D
midi-instrument would have to sound more like a real D clarinet
than the latter does to a real Eb clarinet--and I don't believe
that would ever be the case.
I wasn't asking for a MIDI difference; I wanted the instrument to be
available to be set up automatically by the Setup Wizard, so that I
don't have to go in and muddle with the Staff Name, the
transposition, and (blushes) Part Name.
OK, I know it isn't THAT big a deal to change those things, but I got
caught once and I am sure my students would have, too.
