Is this a matter of different philosofies in the music world. I recall my early days when I started to learn music, I would have been nailed if I would have answered anything other than "Mi" for a note on the bottom line of the pentagram, or played anything other than an "E" note (4th string 2 fret).

Any documentation I find for spanish composers always talk in terms of Do Re Mi, not A B C. Yet when you look at the notes Do Re Mi they are C D E.
