Editing Recorder (musical instrument) (section)

==== Notation ====
Modern recorder parts are notated in the key they sound in. Parts for alto, tenor and contrabass recorders are notated at pitch, while parts for sopranino, soprano, bass, and great bass are typically notated an octave below their sounding pitch. As a result, soprano and tenor recorders are notated identically; alto and sopranino are notated identically; and bass and contrabass recorders are notated identically. [[Clef#Octave clefs|Octave clefs]] may be used to indicate the sounding pitch, but usage is inconsistent.

Rare sizes and notations include the [[Garklein recorder|garklein flutlein]], which may be notated two octaves below its sounding pitch, and the sub-contrabass, which may be notated an octave above its sounding pitch.{{Clarify|date=August 2018|reason=Is there any music written specifically for either of these instruments? If so, where can the notation be verified?}}
