I have to second what Christopher says. I remember being one of a
number of people who lobbied the Finale people to include 8vb as a
notational option in the program. I can't remember in what version
they added it though.
I can't argue with everyone's practical experience, but could this be
one of the things (one of the MANY things!) in which jazz practice
and classical practice differ? After all, classical players are
quite often playing from 19th century engravings.
