Dave,

The BEAD-GCF Mnemonic is a great idea, a most useful tool

May I suggest extending the range by adding the sharps to the left and completing the flat range so the entire line reads B# E# A# D# G# C# F# B E A D G C F Bb Eb Ab Db Gb Cb Fb.

This enables the 7 note window to show all the major and related minor keys at a glance and any three note group to indicate the dominant, tonic and sub-dominant, the three most important chords in any key.

Joe
