if the intervals are equal, wouldn’t it be more convenient to have 12 notes in order from A to L instead of CDEFGAB with sharps and flats?

Answer 1

If you mean simply giving each tone its own letter, i wonder this as well. Couldn’t you just rename scales?With numbers you can see it easier. If C is 1, then a C major scale is 1, 3, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 1. But now, looking at this and at a piano keyboard, i realize that the way a piano is setup with black and white keys makes the 8 names plus go up or down markers might be easier.
