Thanks for your thoughts.  All systems have advantages and disadvantages, 
tradeoffs and presuppositions, things they emphasize and de-emphasize, obscure 
and reveal.  

I mainly play guitar (no white and black key distinction) so I think that’s 
probably why Clairnote and its approach appeals to me.

Yes it is correct.  (Note how you can see the ascending and descending 
chromatic lines in the highest and lowest notes.)
