> I believe that the Bbb you are seeing

Not seeing it at all, and never claimed to have done.  Wondering if there
is any excuse for it.  Please read what I wrote people!

Am writing software that depends on descriptions of instruments for
playback from tablature, a nominal pitch + an interval list is part of
that description for stringed instruments. Single flats and sharps I am
supporting, I could also do double sharps and flats, but would rather not
have to.

> In BBb tuba, the doubled capital B shows the octave  yes, helmholz
notation.

>> think of a reason to consider an instrument to be in, oh, say, Bbb ?
