Enharmonic Pitch
Note: This type is functional and tested, but it does not yet conform to the general API and the documentation is still incomplete.
Overview
Enharmonic pitches and intervals are specified in 12-TET semitones, with 60 as Middle C, as in the MIDI standard. Both enharmonic pitches and intervals can be represented by integers, However, we provides wrapper classes around int to distinguish the different interpretations as pitches and intervals (and their respective class variants). Enharmonic pitches can be easily created using the Enharmonic* constructors, all of which take integers.
