The fingering diagrams for woodwinds are excellent. I'd like to request that
they be expanded/improved, with several likely candidates:

1) add the Kontraforte -- a modernized, considerably extended improvement  
over
the original Heckel Contrabassoon design -- to the list, as the Kontraforte  
is
replacing the Contrabassoon in modern/new-music ensembles (as well as
traditional orchestras) as fast as the maker can build them. It's a
fascinating instrument.

2) by the same token: I have an older Contrabassoon (Model #644, the last  
one
the old master made in the 50s before retiring), which has a key layout that
differs from the one in Lily (among other things, a fourth key in the right-
side column under my left thumb). Maybe some alternate layouts for contras,  
as
well as maybe for French bassoons?

3) the Kingma quartertone flute, which is rare, but also a much superior
instrument compared to the base layout.

4) the Bohlen-Pierce Clarinet family, which has instruments based on a just-
intuned scale with a vastly simplified key layout.

There's a few others, but I'd *love* to see Lily able to address some
alternate/expanded fingering diagrams, especially those that are getting  
some
more play in new music.
