It's so natural that I'm skeptical that there is any additional cognitive burden for a trained player on the traditional system vs a trained player on the Janko system. Perhaps even the reverse
- zozbot234 7y agoThe Janko system would work very well with solmization, as opposed to the usual kind of solfege. The relevant difference is that in solmization all half-step intervals (including those that are introduced via accidentals!) are always read as mi-fa. These half-steps are precisely the intervals that are treated specially in Janko and other isomorphic keyboards, compared to the diatonic standard.
- mkl 7y agoDo you have a link? The Wikipedia article on solmization says it's just the process of naming notes with syllables and that solfege is the most common form of it.

- coldtea 7y agoThe cognitive burden is inherent in the "training" of the trained player. So whether there's an "additional cognitive burden for a trained player" is a moot point. This is about reducing the training burden. And of course the limitations (e.g. of movement between notes, where there's only a single path in the traditional keyboard) are objective and not arguable.
