I found this video fascinating and clear, thanks for sharing.
The subject addressed here is at the confluence of history, religion, music theory, musical instruments, the human voice, tool building, communication, logic and probably a domain or two that I'm missing.
It must have been quite fun to work out the white keys and then the black.

What was described made what could be constructed as arcane a bit more understandable. As I started out on trumpet reading written music was just how it was done and as a young kid, I never questioned the use of written sheet music.
Later, playing guitar, and reading sheet music was pretty rare. Later I started to play piano and sheet music became an advantage again. Having said all that, I was unaware of the connection between Gregorian chants and the dislike for try tones. Unless someone told you, why would you ever think about the connection between music created in the 9th and 10th centuries and the keyboard layout?
It is only because of the internet that I would ever likely had the occasion to be exposed to such things. Still, the discussion is in itself a bit arcane.
If all you have ever done is sight-read music your questions would likely be different than for example a guitar player who never saw any value in sight-reading.
If you only play piano by ear, then the question of B# and E# does not mean much, to begin with.
I find being able to play by ear and also being able to sight-read a huge advantage.
Some things have some logical basis, others not so much but the historical perspective is always interesting to me.

New location, new environment, new music coming soon
Seize the moo-ment If you feel like you’ve herd all these cow puns before, you probably have deja-moo
"Such a mess of accidentals" is a great description why you need E# and B# in notation.
Yes, his explanation of Moonlight Sonata justified that perfectly. I remember the first time I played it, it took some effort in interpreting the unusual notation.

Being able to sight-read got me into a madrigals group when I wasn't the best tenor being interviewed. I was the only one of the 13-member group who could look at the 7-part sheet music, walk up to the piano on stage and play a 7-note chord so each member (2 first sopranos, 2 second sopranos, 2 first altos, 2 second altos, 1 tenor (me), 2 baritones and 2 basses) could get their initial pitch. Then it was all a capela after that. I felt lucky to be part of that.

User Video: Next-Level AI Music Editing with ACE Studio and Band-in-a-Box®
The Bob Doyle Media YouTube channel is known for demonstrating how you can creatively incorporate AI into your projects - from your song projects to avatar building to face swapping, and more!
His latest video, Next-Level AI Music Editing with ACE Studio and Band-in-a-Box, he explains in detail how you can use the Melodist feature in Band-in-a-Box with ACE Studio. Follow along as he goes from "nothing" to "something" with his Band-in-a-Box MIDI Melodist track, using ACE Studio to turn it into a vocal track (or tracks, you'll see) by adding lyrics for those notes that will trigger some amazing AI vocals!

Did you know... not only can you download your Band-in-a-Box® Pro, MegaPAK, or PlusPAK purchase - you can also choose to add a flash drive backup copy with the installation files for only $15? It even comes with a Band-in-a-Box® keychain!

Note: the Band-in-a-Box® keychain is only included with flash drive backup copies, and cannot be purchased separately.
Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.
Update your Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows® Today!
Update your Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows for free with build 1111!
With this update, there's more control when saving images from the Print Preview window, we've added defaults to the MultiPicker for sorting and font size, updated printing options, updated RealTracks and other content, and addressed user-reported issues with the StylePicker, MIDI Soloists, key signature changes, and more!
A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
