> Fighting notation is like fighting piano keyboard

Interestingly, the current form of a piano keyboard isn't only way keyed instruments have been laid out.

My mind was blown when I first saw a harpsichord with separate flat and sharp keys for example because I never considered the concept. I grew up with pianos so in my ignorance I never really thought about them being different.

there is also the janko keyboard. It looks a little scary but you can play in any key using the same hand shape.
