I think we clearly established in the original thread why we think BIAB should just create a user setting to specify which value is used for Middle C. We can then choose the value depending on the hardware and software we use and the education we received.

I also think we won’t solve why it is what it is. In the case of technology, being around longer is not an advantage. Right or wrong, the innovators developing the hardware and software chose their preferences, and that includes the USA, Japan, UK, South Korea, and now China. But they failed to all agree on a standard. No matter; just please give us a choice and we’re done here.
