It's written: > o4 c++++-+-+-+ > The above is a really obtuse and unnecessary way to represent an E (a.k.a. a C-sharp-sharp-sharp-sharp-flat-sharp-flat-sharp-flat-sharp) in Alda. This is equivalent to c++++, c 4-sharps. This is NOT e, as far as I know. See https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comma_syntonique https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comma_syntonique and how semi-tones are built. I'm thus wondering how things are built behind the scenes..
