You might want to ask the Puredata list since it is more up their alley and the traffic on the list is much more.
That said, why don't you send the MIDI note number instead and seperate them into octave groups with a chain of [moses]'s, then seperate them further with [mod 12] into their letter names. Would something like this work? If not, attach your patch so I can get a better idea.
