I ran into this once with piccolo trumpet. The sample library would let me write high E but not high F. Piccolo trumpets in A play high F (concert D) in many pieces. It’s hard for some players but better ones can do it, and even a G. I needed the F in a piece I was arranging so I hacked the definitions file for the sampler. It turned out they had recorded the high F but didn’t want people to access it.
