Hi John,

Just to set the record straight for others who read this thread. When you say... "The confusion occurs because BIAB reports this incorrectly as C5 in three places (In its notation window, in its Vocal Wizard and in its guitar tuner)."

It is not incorrect to call Middle C, C5. A number of really big music companies do that (as my previous post points out). There are also a number of really big music companies that call Middle C, C3.

It's important to note that MIDI does not use C3, C4, C5 as standard references. MIDI's standard references are note numbers. In all honesty, I find it easy to remember that Middle C is note 60 (=5x12).... thus one octave lower is 48 (=4x12), another octave lower is 36 (=3x12); conversely higher octaves = 6x12, 7x12, etc. So, as long as I can remember my 12 times table, all octaves of C are covered.

I appreciate that you want Middle C to be C4 and I fully understand why. I hope you win the battle smile

Regards,
Noel
