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?

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." Source And Jim wrote: aš,0,69,440.0000000000. Best regard, Karl ŤThe Crux of the Biscuit is the Apostropheť	[reply]
