Oh now you've done it! Soon, we'll all be arguing over the poll! ;)
What happens if "Mixed sharps and flats" gets the most votes, but more than 50 percent of the votes come from those who want it to be either all sharps or all flats?
Lies, damned lies, and statistics . . .
 
I don't really have a preference. Works fine as is for me but since I'm mostly tuned down a 1/2 step with the band I guess flats. Offset would be cool too.
 
Option D - I have no preference.

However, being able to configure a tuning offset somewhere that would be used to adjust all pitch harmonies. IOW, if I set the offset to -1 or Eb to indicate I’m tuned down a half step I would like things like a pitch block configured for an A Dorian harmony to be treated as Ab Dorian.
 
For whatever reason I gravitate to naming notes as flats as opposed to sharps, but, as others have said, I'd have no issue with any of the naming conventions (I picked "All Flats" in the poll FWIW).
 
We want diverse options. We don't want to live under the western dominance! ✊

I tune to Eb so all flats would be good, but I'd be equally fine with all sharps.
The mixed sharps and flats I don't care for.
