Constructor Details

#initialize(fv, semi = nil) ⇒ PitchClass

Mext::Music::PitchClass.new(float_value, semi = nil):

pitch class object, where argument is:

float_value: a pitch class in float notation (i.e. 8.00 for middle C, etc.)

+or+ an octave value when given in octave, semi pair (see below)

semi: (optional) when this argument is not nil, then it is assumed

that the first argument is the octave, and this one is the
semitone value
