Two wrongs won't make a right.

A much better idea is to represent intervals internally in such a way that unison is zero.

The jury may be out on how to enumerate items in a sequence, but a delta offset must be zero-based. That is simply not negotiable.

Western music theory is crazy.

Come on: every seven diatonic notes, we get another octave? What? And then we need a "rule of nine" for inverting an interval?
