+@ignore This needs to be reworked.
The trombones are a special case: although they are said to be @q{in F} (alto or
bass) or @q{in B-flat} (tenor), this refers to their fundamental note, not to
their parts' transposition. (In fact, the trombones' parts are written at
concert pitch with an appropriate clef -- alto, tenor or bass.) This differs
from other instruments @q{in F}, @q{in B-flat}, and so on, which are transposing
instruments.
+@end ignore
Instruments that play @q{in C} but in a different octave than what is written
are, technically speaking, @emph{transposing instruments}:

* About the French naming system: @notation{croche} refers to the note's
-@q{hook}. Therefore, from the eighth note on, the note names mean @q{hook},
+@q{hook}. Therefore, from the eighth note on, the note names mean @q{hook},
@q{doubled hook}, @q{trebled hook}, and so on.
The rest names are based on the @notation{soupir}, or quarter rest.
