Music::PitchNum::German - note name and pitch number roles for BACH

SYNOPSIS

  package MyCleverMozart;
  use Moo;
  with('Music::PitchNum::German');
  ...

Then elsewhere:

  use MyCleverMozart;
  my $x = MyCleverMozart->new;

  $x->pitchname(70);      # b
  $x->pitchname(69);      # a
  $x->pitchname(72);      # c
  $x->pitchname(71);      # h

  $x->pitchnum(q{aes'});  # 68
  $x->pitchnum(q{g'});    # 67
  $x->pitchnum(q{b'});    # 70
  $x->pitchnum(q{a'});    # 69

DESCRIPTION

A Music::PitchNum implementation specifically for BACH, whereby H represents what other systems term B natural and B represents B flat. Otherwise, the implementation is Helmholtz-based, or the one typically seen in lilypond, with accidentals in the Dutch or German style (es, is), and octave indications using , and '.

This module is expected to be used as a Role from some other module; Moo::Role may be informative.

METHODS

pitchname pitchnumber

Returns the pitch name for the given integer, though will throw an exception if passed something that is not a number.

pitchnum pitchname

Returns the pitch number for the given note name, or undef if the note could not be parsed.
