# Instrument reference

Use catalog keys in the roster, such as `parts { flute oboe }`, then place music under the corresponding labels: `flute { m1 { 1C5 } }`. The aliases below are catalog aliases; compact roster abbreviations such as `fl`, `ob`, and `vln` are a separate accepted vocabulary. See [parts and measures](structure.md) for counts, names, and simultaneous voices.
