Darcy,
Every trumpet player who has looked at a Leduc solo publication (99.99999654% 
of good  players) will understand Trompette Ut.
We low brass players who use Leduc pieces (98.98657% of us) have seen Tuba or 
Baryton Ut and the dreaded Tuba or Barytone Sib, an awful thing with 
transposing BASS clef.
 
I am looking at Daphnis & Chloe and it says Trompette en Ut. Hardly modern, but 
Ut will be universally understood as C trumpet, ie non-transposing.

Subject: [Finale] French terminology



Hello,

I'm engraving a new opera for a French composer and I'm wording about 
a specific piece of terminology -- "Trompette en Ut" or "Trompette en 
Do"? I have a vague feeling "Trompette en Ut" is archaic, but I don't 
have any recent French orchestral scores to check against.

Cheers,

- Darcy
