Hi andi.k,

I guess it depends on how you look at it.

To me, it is just as legitimate to assign the "3" key for a sharp as it is to assign a "B" key for a flat. The "#' sign on the keyboard is not the musical sharp. It's just coincidental that the "number sign" mark (which I have also seen called a hash-mark and a pound sign) and the "sharp sign" are very similar in appearance. I have always understood the the horizontal lines on the sharp sign are drawn diagonally upwards whereas on the number sign, they are parallel to the ground.

Regards,
Noel
