Don;
 You really should watch your language there might be children present! :-)

On the notation thing though........just a uSWAG but....could the notation 
have been developed due to the plethora of keyboard compasses, offsets on 
dual organ/clavier keyboards, etc. 
 
So Ron using your notational, it would seem to me that while A1 is not aprox 
27.5hz, on a 65 note keyboard, it still is A1, correct?  Then what notational 
descriptor would you give to C-523.5? or A-440 on that keyboard?  And on a 
two manual organ with an octave offset, physical or tonal, which A1 is really 
A1? the one on the top manual or the one on the bottom manual?  How would you 
notate the difference between A1 on a Bosy Imp. and the A1 on a Wurlitzer 65 
note thingee? 
(for that matter I don't know how I would notate the lowest A on the Bosy 
anyway...perhaps A below A0?)

  Using the current notation system with A-440 being A4 and going up and down 
from there seems to make sense since there is always an A4 which is the same 
on all, well OK 'most', keyboards.

 But as I said this is just a uSWAG and a couple of questions.
