In the course of building Anglo Piano and exploring keyboard designs for my own needs, I'm constantly collecting and transcribing Anglo layouts. I figured I'd list them here so others can make use of them. I find it's extremely helpful to be able to view all these layouts in a standardized format that's also interactive; maybe you do too. Notes: Anglo Piano has several "standard" layouts built-in, which aren't listed here. The layouts below are not stored on Anglo Piano, but rather are encoded in the links themselves. Anyone can design or transcribe their own layout and get a link to share here (and you're encouraged to!). I have collected these layouts from various sources. If you spot an error, tell me, and I'll fix it (or you can send me a link to a corrected layout). You can transpose a layout into any tuning using the layout editor. As of now, I don't have a way to support different temperaments.
