In this diagram, the octaves are designated by "ticks" following the note name. Your data set uses numbers, like in this other diagram. Maybe the diagrams are incorrect?	[reply]

The diagrams are correct. Read the third item in the list of Variations in the Wikipedia article titled Helmholtz pitch notation. I chose to use this variation of Helmholtz pitch notation in my example Perl script because it seems more well-suited to computer use and digital typography. One thing that troubled me is that there are no Unicode characters that are low versions of the high prime characters: PRIME U+2032 (′), DOUBLE PRIME U+2033 (″), TRIPLE PRIME U+2034 (‴), etc.	[reply]

I think the original Helmholtz Notation for 440Hz/MIDI #69 is a′. Just a variation of this kind of notation is aš. In Scientific Pitch Notation this is A₄. "It is designated A₄ in scientific pitch notation because of the note's position as the fourth A key on a standard 88-key piano keyboard. On MIDI, it is note 69."
