I wanted to know, why does diatonic use standard notation (ABC, #/b) while non-diatonic uses different notation (J, &/@)? It can't be for distinctiveness purposes because everything non-diatonic uses identical notation. So if a lot of MOSes will be sharing the same notation anyway, we could reduce confusion by using the "ABC" notation for both diatonic and non-diatonic MOS.
