Multiphonics
Is there any way to do multiphonics? I looked at Andrew Norman's Try and he said this about multiphonics (I'll type it in the comments)

Won't sound differently though.

If you follow the link in my earlier post there are playable examples.
They just sound like my first squeaky efforts on the clarinet at age 11. I got better over the next 50 odd years.
"Oboe, Clarinet, and Bassoon are use to one multiphonic throughout the whole piece where indicated. A suggestion has been made for the Oboe, Clarinet, and Bassoon, but each player is free to choose a multiphonic that works well for them. Find one that is loud, complex, buzzing and stable."

You could write the multiphonic as a chord of two notes. Examples of what can be achieved on a clarinet can be found here: https://www.gregoryoakes.com/multiphonics. However, I would expect only a subset of these could be played by a particular player on a particular instrument. So different players will most likely choose a different loud, complex, buzzing stable multiphonic depending on which ones work with their instrument/emboucher. In short, multiphonics on the clarinet are a bit of a gimmick and not all can be produced to order.
I'm looking for those for a while too. If someone does the generosity of recording samples, I could build a SoundFont for the MuseScore community.
