Subject:  Octaves..my suggestion!!!

Only a suggestion but boy how often do we see the need.

I suggest that ONLY the middle C octave have letters
without numbers. A to G.

When we need to refer to an upper or lower octave we place
a number in front of the letter to indicate a note below the
centre octave and a number after the letter to indicate a note
ABOVE the centre octave.

Examples 1C is the C below middle C.
C1 the C above middle C.
A is the A below middle C. 1A is the A below that.
The reference is always the middle C octave.

The centre octave is from A below middle C and has NO
numbers attached. The upper or lower case have no
significance at all, thus defeating the original argument
for introducing that much mis-understood system.
