formatNotation

Converts the internal note representation which uses only flats, to the notation
commonly used to write scales and chords, where a mix of sharps and flats is used to avoid
repeating the same letter note. (e.g. <code>"G#5" "A5"</code>, instead of <code>"Ab5" "A5"</code>)
e.g. convert the C4 Lydian from:
"C4" "D4" "E4" "Gb4" "G4" "A4" "B4" "C5"
to:
"C4" "D4" "E4" "F#4" "G4" "A4" "B4" "C5"
or convert the A4 major from:
"A4" "B4" "Db5" "D5" "E5" "Gb5" "Ab5" "A5"
to:
"A4" "B4" "C#5" "D5" "E5" "F#5" "G#5" "A5"

An aid for learning and using music theory. You can build chords, scales, and chord progressions using 12-note equal temperament tuning (12-ET) or user-defined tuning. Includes functions to visualize notes on a piano using ASCII plots in the console and to plot waveforms using base graphics. It allows simple playback of notes and chords using the 'audio' package.
