R (Recorder-Type) Record
 


The R (Recorder-Type) record allows you to select alto, soprano, or bass as the default type for your fingering file. This can be useful if you are creating a fingering file specific to a particular model of recorder (e.g. a particular bass)

Format:
Ra
where a is a, s, or b

Example:
Rb

Note that this record does not affect the format of your fingering records. Fingering records are always alto-based.

Generally speaking, it is not advisable to have an external fingering file specify a recorder type, since this will override the user's recorder type established in  Preferences. However, in some cases it might be appropriate - for example, a fingering file for a particular model of bass recorder.
