Note names should use "A" in English rather than "U"

[edit]

The notes shown at power-of-2 multiples of the frequency 110 Hz are known in English as A1, A2, …. However, this image shows them with names U1, U2, …. Those names suggest the influence of a Romance language, such as French or Italian, in which the root note of the diatonic scale, and its octaves, are called "Ut". For clarity, it is desirable to edit the SVG image to use the names with "A" rather than "U". The same comment applies to the "as-heard" version of this file, namely "4Octaves.and.Frequencies.Ears.svg". Yahya Abdal-Aziz (talk) 14:33, 5 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
