25d7ddcd1b Major refactor of internal note storage to better support transposition.
Refactor to store notes as key-agnostic scale degrees + alterations
(flat, sharp, etc.).

We now think of a pitch in different ways:
- *Note*: the 7 notes diatonic to C major. Notes capture the principle
  in western harmony of the common scales having seven distinct diatonic
  "notes" and allows us to do arithmetic with them (do up three scale
  degrees).
- *Pitch*: the 12 chromatic pitches, regardless key. Pitch allows us to
  assign unique names and ordinal values to each note of the chromatic
  scale, allowing us to do arithmetic with them.
- *SpelledPitch*: a unique spelling of one of the chromatic pitches
  (*Note* + alteration) allowing the stylistic choice to use
  different *Notes* to describe a single *Pitch*.
- *ScaleDegree*: a variant of *SpelledPitch* that uses the scale degree
  instead of the *Pitch* to store a pitch in a key-agnostic manner.

To illustrate, the difference, consider the flat-six in the key of Eb.
- *Note*: The 6th scale degree in Eb is C (1-E 2-F 3-G 4-A 5-B 6-C).
- *Pitch*: In the chromatic scale, ignoring the key, this is the *Pitch*
  called B.
- *SpelledPitch*: In the context of the key of Eb, because this is the
  *Note* C, we should spell this as Cb, not B. So the spelled pitch is
  *Note*(C), *Alteration*(flat).
- *ScaleDegree*: This captures the key-agnostic representation that we
  used in the begining: *Number*(6) and *Alteration*(flat)

With these four ways of representing a note, we can transpose any
pitches that follow western 12-tone harmony arbitrarily between keys
preserving the author's choice of chord function (remembering that this
is the b6 and not the #5, in our example).

Building on this new notational data model, the AST now uses the
*ScaleDegree* relative to the provided key as the internal
representation of a pitch. Formatting of a *ScaleDegree* always requires
the key in which it is being rendered. Transposition is now only a
matter or updating the current key.

533089431e Use better heuristics for chord pitch naming.
Previously we used a heuristic for choosing pitch names based on the
major scale degree, minimizing radicals. So, for example, in the key of
Gb, we render the 4 as Cb rather than B because Bb is the 3 of Gb. In
other words, we want 1:Gb, 2:Ab, 3:Bb, 4:Cb instead of re-using B. This
is standard practice in western music notation.

When rendering non-diatonic notes we prefered choosing the version that
minimized the radicals. Again in the key of Gb we would choose to render
E as E (the #6) rather than considering it as Fb (the b7) and choose to
render D as D (the #5) rather than E𝄫 (the b6). This was chosen to
reduce the number of unusual radicals like 𝄫.

However, in practice this leads to unusual charts because it is more
common when writing chordal harmony to use the b6 rather than the #5.
Similarly the b7 is far more common than the #6. This is, I think, due
to the prevalence of the major scale and minor scales and the fact that
the minor scale is built from flatting the 3, 6, and 7 of the major
scale. So when thinking in a key-center agnostic manner (like numbers)
we almost always think about these altered scale degrees as being
flatted relative to the major scale, not sharped. Because of this, in
the key of Gb, we would prefer to render a b6, b7, 1 chord walkup as
E𝄫, Fb, Gb rather than D, E, Gb.

This change redefines the heuristic used to name chord pitches to follow
a heuristic that covers all pitches in the octave based on scale degree:
1, b2, 2, b3, 3, 4, b5, 5, b6, 6, b7, 7

8271129b90 Better support for transposition and Nashville numbers.
- Non-diatonic pitches are supported using Nashville numbers (#5).
- When using Nashville numbers chord variants with non-diatonic roots
  are now recognized (e.g. b7)
- Pitch rendering is now aware of key centers. For example, F# is F#
  rendered as F# when in the key of G but Gb when in the key of Ab.

## This notational model is based on the 12-tone modal, harmonic system
## standard in Western music. A key concept from this is the key-agnostic
## naming system common to Jazz and Gospel music, an expansion of the
## "Nashville Number" system that refers to pitches by their scale degree and
## "alteration" (for lack of a better word). For example, "flat III,"
## "natural/perfect V."
##
## In this model scale degree names are always counted from the tonic,
## regardless of mode. Alterations are based on how the note differs from the
## note at the same scale degree in the Ionian scale that shares the same
## tonic. We also make a distiction between the key-agnostic scale degree and
## alteration, and the key-specific spelling of the same. For example, consider
## the following scales with named notes and key-agnostic scale degrees:
##
## Key of C major
##
## C D E F G A B
## 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
##
## Key of C minor (Aeolian)
##
## C D E♭ F G A♭ B♭
## 1 2 ♭3 4 5 ♭6 ♭7
##
## Key of A minor
##
## A B C D E F G
## 1 2 ♭3 4 5 ♭6 ♭7
##
## Key of A major
##
## A B C# D E F# G#
## 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
##
## Key of G♭ Locrian
##
## G♭ A𝄫 B𝄫 C♭ D𝄫 E𝄫 F♭
## 1 ♭2 ♭3 4 ♭5 ♭6 ♭7
##
## Key of G Ionian (major)
##
## G A B C D E F#
## 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
##
## In these examples, C major and A minor are enharomonic (sharing the same
## pitches), spell all of their pitches the same, but have different flavors of
## scale degrees. G Ionian and Gb Locrian are also enharmonic, but have very
## different spellings of the pitches and flavors of scale degrees. Most people
## would use F# Locrian rather than Gb Locrian, because F# Locrian has the same
## pitch spellings as the familiari relative major of G Ionian. The key point
## for understanding this data model is that it allows the author to use either
## and will correctly transpose, using the correctly named pitches based on the
## mode and spelling choice for the key.
##
## This preservation of choices extends to non-diatonic notes as well. For
## example, in the key of C the notes Ab and G# are enharmonically equivalent,
## but functionally different. Ab is the flat VI, whereas G# is the
## augmented/sharp V. There are situations where an author may prefer either of
## these. For example, as a submediant in a walk-up progression, ## bVI-bVII-bI,
## writing it as Cb, the bVI emphasises the whole-tone pattern of the walk up,
## the relationship to VII. In a different progression, a IV-vdim-vi walk up,
## the same pitch might be thought of as a sharp V approaching the VI,
## emphasizing its role as a continuation of the V tension before the
## resolution to the v. Again, this data model allows us to preserve the
## notation of both Cbmaj7-Db6-Eb2 and Bb-Bdim-Cm7 in the key of Eb, notating
## them in the key of D as Bbmaj7-C6-D2 and A-A#dim-Bbm7 respectively.
