I can appreciate that position. In this particular case, I would say
it would have been better to leave the markings off entirely simply
because if you marked then 0 to 12, that only works when range is 1
octave.  Aside from having each knob in a concentric ring, I don't
know how you would possibly get all that paint on the panel and not
cause confusion.
