Yeah, of course you're right.

However, many trumpet, horn, and trombone players would probably consider lower -lip movements to be "embouchure shifts".

Further, for different ranges (as recently as twenty years ago ...[I'm getting old - 46.]) I used to have sudden "shifts" in different ranges regarding which mouth muscles would be tightened in different ways... ...On the other hand, I watched Tommy Johnson play a piece once for tuba & w.w. quintet (maybe the Armand Russell) and he had severe "muscular" embouchure shifts, just like I used to have.

I'm just saying that I've managed to "iron" those shifts out, where I now go gradually from one type of muscle tension to another when moving from one range to another.
