Is there a smilie with satanic laughters? (that stuff is mine - plentiful of evidence around...discrediting - add that to the rest: obscurantism, ostracism and so on...“The public will forgive everything but genius” –Oscar Wilde? Seen it all before eh?).
The excuse of language barriers is pathetic - more an attack on a personal level....in truth some are deeply frightened by new concepts (verging to the irrational if you ask me)
If someone doesn't like Bebop style no one should stop others learning about it - same with De-transposing...if someone feels uncomfortable with that just leave it - but why stopping others to know about it?...Fear your tutor one day forces you to learn it? (chuckle)...cos' let's face it, some can only do what the tutor says.
It's about variety and choice.
To see messages disappearing in ideologies grounds is very sad indeed....
Well, E becomes F# because E to F is a semitone, not a whole tone. That way we can play/write a C major scale (which has two semitone intervals in it) without any sharps or flats (If we were re-inventing the system now I think C would be called "A"). So E (which for example is the 7th note of an F major scale) becomes F# (seventh note of a G major scale).Im just touching on some transposing now ...........
Whats with....... E that becomes F# .......and A# that becomes C ????????????????
Yeh ! Yeh ! I know .............its complicated.....................whatever!!!!!!!!!!!

True.Well, E becomes F# because E to F is a semitone, not a whole tone. That way we can play/write a C major scale (which has two semitone intervals in it) without any sharps or flats (If we were re-inventing the system now I think C would be called "A"). So E (which for example is the 7th note of an F major scale) becomes F# (seventh note of a G major scale).
A# really becomes B# (seventh note of C# major or more usually C# minor) but B# is the same as C.
It makes sense after a while, and alternative notations would be just as confusing in their own ways.
... If you're in C on the alto, the piano is in Ab.
