joshua -- apologies for the delay in this reply but i havent had much time to stare at code lately. the behavior you encountered isnt a bug but it also isnt much of a feature, its due to a 'floor' like search of the mode's legal steps. i could change that behavior but that would break existing behavior.

perhaps i could add a :nearest keyword that would look for the nearest (rather than the lower) step (?) so you would write:

(note 67 :nearest mymod)

of course if its equidistant to a step above AND below then it still might not return the one you want, so ill have to think about how best to do this.

Hi all...

This doesn't seem like the expected behavior. Is this right? And if it is, does anyone know a way to get the values I'm expecting?

(defvar mymode)
(setq mymode (new mode :degrees '(c df ef f gs a b c)))
(note 67 :through mymode); => F ??? shouldn't it be GS?
(note 67.5 :through mymode) ;=> AF ???
(keynum 67 :through mymode); => 65 ??? shouldn't it be 68?
(keynum 67.4 :through mymode) ;=> 65 !!!
(keynum 67.5 :through mymode) ;=> 68 !!!

Thanks for any help.

Josh
