Well, normally I use midi note numbers or a transposed version thereof 
(especially : midi note minus a multiple of 12), but in this case, I have 
only implemented «white keys», and then, I wonder what you expect the 
interface to be, to implement the «black keys», and whether those numbers 
should be displayed as dièse or bémol.

I think I will use the vertical space as something as equally divided as 
possible into midi notes, and then display all of them as either unaltered 
or dièse. Later, the latter part can be modified to show notes in any 
other chosen scale, maybe...

And I want an option to hide the clef de Sol (thinking of it in the 
context of using it as a [#many] component, hypothesising a future in 
which [#many] supports an abstraction name as its $1).
