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.

    • 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 alternative positions. C4 has 2 positions, Eb4 has 2 positions, Gb4 has 2 positions, Ab4 has 2 positions, Bb4 has 2 positions on aura; the one nearest (0, 0) is kept.
