IWBNI it were possible to specify that any of the following systems of pitch representation be used:
 

			Middle C
C1	C	c	c'	c''	c'''	c''''
C'	C	c	c'	c''	c'''	c''''
CCC	CC	C	c	c'	c''	c'''
C2	C1	C	c	c1	c2	c3

This could be implemented by replacing the Pitch Representation section of the Program Options dialog box with a list box that contains the following items:

-------------------------------
Pitch Representation

|MIDI Note Number|
|C1 C2 C3 (C4) C5 C6 C7|
|C0 C1 C2 (C3) C4 C5 C6|
|C2 C3 C4 (C5) C6 C7 C8|
|C₁ C c (c') c'' c''' c''''|
|C' C c (c') c'' c''' c''''|
|CCC CC C (c) c' c'' c'''|
|C₂ C₁ C (c) c¹ c² c³|
-------------------------------

Subscript and superscript numbers could be replaced by normal numbers if such special formatting is troublesome.
