It can be either a singular possessive or a contraction, depending on context.

- Singular possessive: "the alto's part" = the part belonging to one alto.
- Contraction: "Alto's singing now" = "Alto is singing now" (or "Alto's got" = "Alto has got").

It is not a plural possessive (that would be "altos'") or a dialectal omission.
