Midi Note Name & Octave to Note Number

[MusoBob]

In Reaper I can find mute midi note but not lock midi note from transpose (but still move left/right).

I just have user input for start note and end note


end note F0
start note C0

and need to convert to note numbers in Lua.

This will exempt the keyswitch notes from being snapped to chord or scale.

I found this in Java note number to note name, I will try and work it out to Lua note name to note number, but if anyone already has the answer that would help.

octave = int (notenum / 12) - 1; 
note = substring("C C#D D#E F F#G G#A A#B ",(notenum % 12) * 2, 2);

EDIT: more

public static String getNoteName(int noteNumber){
    noteNumber -= 21; // see the explanation below.
    String[] notes = new String[] {"A", "A#", "B", "C", "C#", "D", "D#", "E", "F", "F#", "G", "G#"};
    int octave = noteNumber / 12 + 1;
    String name = notes[noteNumber % 12];
    return name + octave;
}

Explanation:

• A0 in midi is the first note and its number is 21. We adjust the index to start from 0 (hence noteNumber -= 21; at the beginning). If your note numbers are 0 based, for example in piano from 0 to 88, then you can comment this line out.
• Note that in this solution, the note names in the array start from A to G.
• Octave is noteNumber / 12 + 1 (Or ceiling of num / 12).
• Note name index is noteNumber % 12.
