Hi! I've been playing the clarinet for about 4 years now, and I think I want to do a little composing. So far, I've been using a program (noteworthy composer) to make songs for intstruments that are in the Bb pitch. I do have a few questions, though.

1) If on a composing program, I have the staff (which is on the clarinet sound) play a concert Bb according to the clarinet ( a clarinet's "c"), would it actually be concert Bb, or is all of the staves in concert pitch?
2) What is the "Bb" concert scale in concert pitch? I know it starts off with Bb...
3) What major instruments are in concert pitch and what major ones aren't?

If someone could answer even one of these question, I would be eternally grateful.

How do you do a trill on Noteworthy composer? I've tried about everything...

3) What major instruments are in concert pitch and what major ones aren't?

If you mean, which instruments are C instruments or non-transposing instruments, that would be the Piccolo, Flute, Oboe, Bassoon, Trombone, Tuba, Baritone (BC), Piano and Mallet Percussion instruments, and Strings.

Those that aren't would be:

(Bb Instruments) Clarinet, Bass Clarinet, Soprano Sax, Tenor Sax, Trumpet, Baritone T.C./Euphonium, Marching French Horn.

(F Instruments) French Horn, Mellophone, English Horn.

(Eb Instruments) Alto Saxophone, Baritone Saxophone, Alto Clarinet, Eb Contra-bass Clarinet.

Some instruments also come in A, G, Eb, BBb, EEb.

And, of course, some instruments, like the trumpet, come not just in the standard Bb, but also in C, C Piccolo, D, Eb and G.

Hope this helps and isn't too much.
