Can't find instruments

• Feb 19, 2021 - 04:37

For a piece by Brahms I need to have a Trumpet in H and a Horn in H Basso. I understand that German composers referred to H as B natural (with a designation of B being today's B flat.) I cannot find any trumpet or horn that is natural B whether or not it transposed further down. Do these instruments exist in the instrument list?

There's only "Tompete in B" and "Horn in tiefem B", which is Bflat, not H
But you can create them from those, change their transpositions and names via staff properties

I assumed that was the likely response. I am also assuming that when Musescore plays the sound for a horn, for example, there is one sound associated with a horn of any type (sounds different than a trumpet or flute), then it is the various transpositions that determine the actual pitch of that sound, but the underlying "sound" is the same.
