Term re: harmonics

Post by hautbois baryton »

Help! I'm drawing a complete blank...

I have an ossia staff showing the resultant pitches for an extended passage of string harmonics. I know there is a term that basically means "actual sounds" but I cannot for the life of me remember what it is.

Something like sons real, or somesuch... can anyone assist?

Maybe use suoni reali (plural) or suono reale (singular).

Composers often use their own languages for this direction, but suoni reali is what one would expect to see in Italian.
Finale 26.3.1 & 27.4 Dorico 6.0.10 waiting but not yet in use
Mac 11.7.10 & 15.6
