Obviously it doesn't count harmonic fingerings and some other short fingering alternatives - eg. I put 1/2xx|oooC for an alternative top D and it said "What do you think this is, a clarinet?", though it did count my usual top D fingering 1/2xx|oxoC when top D came around before.

I wonder what it'll make of top A played as 8ve2 xxx|xxx ?

KNEW IT! I put 8ve2 xxx|xxxEb for top Bb (the standard harmonic fingering) and it didn't like that! The 'witty' remark was "Oh no, oboe!" My retort would be "Oh yes, ditch your basic fingering chart, mate!"

And for top A I submitted the harmonic fingering (8ve2 xxx|xxx) and it said "I hear Starbucks is hiring." My reply "I hear your boss is firing."
