B does not always mean B natural. In systems where H is a note, B is
the name for B flat. The documentation here is perhaps a little
misleading in that it implies t

The issue of black notes is a red herring. Even if you restrict
yourself to one pitch, "A" let's say, you will find that there isn't a
single correct value for it. The A which is a major third above F is not
the same pitch as the A that is fourth fifths (less two octaves) from F
