Why this layout

  • Notes that name themselves. C D E F G A B play the notes they name — anyone who knows the Western scale already knows it.
  • Sharps mostly sit above their naturals. V S W R Q = C♯ D♯ F♯ G♯ A♯ — close to piano black keys, with a few exceptions.
  • Two-handed by default. Lower octave under the left hand; upper octave (H J K L ;) mirrors it under the right.
