The way the syntax is now, is (in musical terms) the opposite of what's 
printed. Having the syntax match the print is likely to be easier to learn for 
at least the majority, if not everyone. (The way the syntax is now, it makes 
mathematical sense; which is nice - but I don't think it serves a practical 
purpose.)
