Yes, I'm sorry. I wrote it correctly in my first draft, but after
re-reading (and mis-reading) your explanation I decided it was a
mistake and deleted it.
A picture is worth a thousand words.
Why does the A seem more logical to you than the C ?
Explain, please.
In English the alphabet starts with A not C. Understood by millions,
even without a musical education.
Why should any pitch be considered the "start"? It's purely
conventional, not a physical necessity.
The zero for the Celsius scale has reason, conventional though it be.
Fahrenheit had a reason for choosing his zero differently. Is there a
reason why any particular pitch should be given a particular name apart
from convention?
