in practice, most computer programmers think in midi notes: 60 being
middle C, 72 the C above that, ...
as an extension, some software allows 'factional midi notes' (although
they are not in the midi standard, and hardware synths won't understand
them). so 62.33 is on third of a semitone higher then D. this is not as
far fetched as it may seem. i use it e.g. to present overtone scales in
just intonation..
