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.

Note set · Letter names
exactPath point-set → note-set · needs root, octave
- 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.

lossyPath 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 alternative positions. C4 has 2 positions, Eb4 has 2 positions, E4 has 2 positions, Gb4 has 2 positions, Ab4 has 2 positions, A4 has 2 positions on aura; the one nearest (0, 0) is kept.

lossyPath point-set → pc-set → pc-set-analysis
- Drops octave placement, doubling. Offsets fold into the octave above the root.
- Drops transposition. The set's Tn class (Forte name with A/B, prime form); the transposition is dropped.
