At a Golden Year of Augusta Heritage Howard Levy MasterClass, we discussed 
this very topic and decided that 12th Position should also be called "1st Flat 
Position", as there is a cycle of fourths that goes in the opposite direction 
as the cycle of fifths, and it is much easier to think of going down one fourth 
as opposed to counting up 12 fifths.
