Subject: RE: More stuff about the circle of 5ths
I can't see any advantage of a linear arrangement of keys and related chords over a circular (or cyclical) arrangement, just because the music being played may have limited perameters. The circular ('Circle of Fifths") arrangement shows the true relationship of keys and chords to music in general.

A linear arrangement implies limitations that don't exist.

More confusion for the innocents.
