Hi Bill: Sostenuto is not an English word, so it would not normally be found in an English Spell checker. There are many terms in music which are of italian derivation. As one meets these, they can be checked in a Music Dictionary and then added to the Spellchecker. Newton probably passes most spell checkers because of fig-newtons. I believe Hunt would also pass because of hunt or hunting being common English words. Most other proper names would not pass many spellcheckers, but can usually be added to the list manually if you plan to use those names in the future.
