It's quite true that Mason's is a guide to piano nomenclature in the 
US, and that usage in other locales ( England, Australia, etc.) follows 
its own patterns, and it is a bit xenophobia of us to insist you 
convert. But this is a US based list, so you can expect to find us 
favoring our own authorities on terminology.
