In your traditional system, if you want to play something a step up, you have to actually think about it; which notes will now become sharps, which won't, etc.

In my system (A though L, or more simply, 1 through 12), you simply add 2 to each note. It's easier to work about and isn't as rigidly defined by the culture it came from.
