Abbreviation for "Euphonium"?
Using MuseScore 3.6.2, when I create a score with a euphonium — either "Euphonium" or "Euphonium (Treble Clef)" — the default abbreviation is "Euph. Bu.". Looks like the abbreviation for "Euphonium Bugle" is being applied incorrectly? The conventional abbreviation for "Euphonium" is simply "Euph".
Not a big deal, as the abbreviation can be changed manually in each score after creation, but if it's an easy fix, it'd be nice for the correct abbreviation to show — unless it's something on my end…? Thanks.

I get "Euph." for the short name when I add either "Euphonium" or "Euphonium (Treble Clef)" from Edit > Instruments.
Are you perhaps using a template which has that "Euph. Bu." abbreviation locked in so that it must be changed each time you use it?

Strange. No template — whether I start from the New Score Wizard > "Choose instruments" or add the instrument via Edit > Instruments, I get the same "Euph. Bu" abbreviation.

You should look in your instruments.xml file in the MuseScore program files to see what's listed there.

Ah...
So instruments.xml itself is not versioned for British English. I can also get the wrong short name if I switch my language to English (GB) in Preferences, even though my instruments.xml file shows as correct.

It is translated (parts of its strings), but in that case wrongly

Yeah, I'm probably using British English.
Thanks! But I'm still seeing the error — how do I update the translation? (Or, for that matter, find the instruments.xml file?)

All right, it's fixed now. Many thanks for your responsiveness (and for making this change)!

It was probably my screw-up too ;-)
