Well, the only musical usage of H  that  I  know  of  is  the  German
terminology, in which B means B flat and H means B natural. I'd agree
that this is a bit of perversity  that  is  best  stopped  before  it
raises  its  ugly head.  I suspect that a lot of Germans might agree.
OTOH, there are a lot of people who seem to  like  complex,  confused
terminology, in any language.

Let's just pretend that we never heard of this idea, ok?

(It did lead to the cute musical gag in which Bach used his  name  as
the  first four notes of a fugue subject.  I can't think of any other
worthwhile use of the idea, however.)
