It evidently was considered important to begin the process from the bottom C of the piano keyboard.
Is this what most on the list understand the system to be? -- Lloyd W. Hanson
This is how I understand it, in fact, I learned to do it this way from this list. However, I am currently reading a book where middle C is designated as c1, the octave above that as c2 etc... BUT, the C below middle C is just plain c, which is confusing because then what is the octave below that???
So for what it is worth it seems to me that to begin numbering Cs with the first at the bottom (or left) of the keyboard makes the most sense. Then you always know where you are....
