You rang??   I know you didn't ask me specifically, but...

If you borrow from organ/harpsichord convention,  A-440Hz is a'.
C 88 = c'''''
C 76 = c''''
C 64 = c'''
C 52 = c''
Middle C (40) = c'
C 28 = c
C 16 = C 
C 4 = CC
A 1 = AAA
Bösendorfer C = CCC

So F-F temperament octave would be f-f' no matter how many keys were to the
left of it.
