Re: Doc: Some miscellaneous suggestions from Peter Toye (issue 579280043 by address@hidden)

[Carl . D . Sorensen]

I'm a native US speaker.  The following is my opinion.

Alteration is a change in pitch from the base pitch.  Base pitch is C,
alteration is sharp, actual pitch is C#.

Accidental is a change in pitch from the standard scale pitch.  As
mentioned by Peter, C# in a D major scale is not an accidental, although
it is an alteration.

I would totally support cleaning up this in NR 1.1.1 Accidentals (Note
-- we don't have 1.1.1.4 in the NR; the lowest level of headings is not
numbered).
