@cguo88 and I have been wrestling with this problem for a while and we need a third opinion! @kyrieb-ekat, @annamorphism, this one is for you, if you feel inspired.
The soprano cornet is a cornet that is pitched a fourth above the standard Bb cornet. The standard cornet plays in the soprano range, so the soprano cornet may be better called the "sopranino cornet," but since the standard highest cornet is just called "cornet," the one above that becomes the soprano cornet. (I hope that made sense).
The most common translation for "soprano cornet" that we found seems to be "cornet soprano," but at least one website uses "cornet soprano" to refer to the standard Bb cornet. The name that avoids all ambiguity is "cornet soprano en Mib," but that's not what people typically call it, because it's a bit of a mouthful.
We've definitely agreed that both "cornet soprano" and "cornet soprano en Mib" should be included on UMIL, but the question is: which should be the main label, and which should be an alias? "Cornet soprano" is the more common name, but possibly ambiguous, whereas "cornet soprano en Mib" is not so common, but completely unambiguous.
This situation comes up fairly often, so it'd be handy to decide what we generally prefer.
