Chris, what you've presented here is quite correct and helpful and will work in any key. I'm a classically trained musician, and this is not routinely taught in classical circles - it's hidden in plain sight - but I came across a similar observation recently on another channel (can't find it right now). They showed that all the keys, black and white, at the back edge are roughly equally spaced, so the pattern for any scale can be setup there too. But your innovation and animation with perfectly evenly spaced notes is pretty neat! Kudos for original thinking and taking time and effort to share it.
Thanks Ian, it's good to hear from a proper musician that I wasn't too far off base. I think it's helpful, at least for some types of brain, to understand this as early as possible... I went through the usual 'learn C major, then learn G major, then learn this, then learn that' without any explanation of the underlying patterns. Thanks for the feedback!
