Converting into another concept may need context this value does not carry (a root, an octave, a key). Where it is missing the library assumes a default and says so; where a step drops information it is listed.

  aura@C3:3,0 4,1

  Path interval → point-set → note-set → grid-position · needs root, octave, layout

  • Assumed root C. No root was given, so the value is read from C.
  • Assumed octave 4. No octave was given, so octave 4 is used.
  • Assumed layout aura. No layout was given, so positions are read on the aura layout.
  • Assumed root C3. No root was given, so the value sounds above C3.
  • Drops cents. 440-659.26 is +0.013¢ from 7 semitones.
  • Drops alternative positions. C4 has 2 positions, G4 has 2 positions on aura; the one nearest (0, 0) is kept.
