I don't see the problem with a shortcut as requested. I'm sure that Snail's answer to the question put was appreciated.

My late wife played three different recorder pitches - but played them as a folk music instrument that is to say by ear and indeed her fingering was in some cases not as fingering charts would have had it.

The recorder may very well be a chromatic instrument, but the accidentals don't fall to hand in the same way in different keys.

The heavy handed horror does come across rather like "REAL guitarists don't use capos".
