[Harp-L] All this Positions and Modes stuff

[Arthur Jennings]

Yes, if you're playing a G scale on a C harp, you're in second position, regardless of which G scale you're playing.

Trying to stretch the definition of position to account for tonality, altered tunings or chromatic button status winds up complicating the issue past the point of usefulness, in my opinion.
