Your idea

Problem to be solved

This will allow players to better perceive a notation that has a common starting point (and not so that the player first sees the accidentals (at the same time he has already placed his fingers in the appropriate way), and then suddenly - an octave sign!

Start by locating the notation layout and octave-line rendering entry points, then compare their current vertical alignment with the attached screenshot and the described accidental placement.
