Do you mean "by default"? > I guess we just use pitch number?) Pitch Number is a good option to have (that is why I recommend to have pitch number as the first layer for a pitch collection--see attached diagram), but the way I am thinking of this there is no reason that a user cannot expand upon a current naming system. For example, that way they could have a system with greater than 12 and still use common names, too, if they want. In fact, that is what just intonation does. So, Do# and Reb could be defined as truly different pitches, but keep the meaningful nominal values. (The tricky design question, is how do we define both solfege and note name into their respective pitches -- i.e. multiple names/systems for the same note(s)). Do you follow my thoughts? (On this topic, I am attaching a very rough draft of an SVG diagram I made a while ago in an attempt to explain this. NOTE: I did not finish it, so it is only a 12 note system. However, if someone wants to use this as a jumping off point for other diagrams, be my guest.)
