Pythagorean Chromatic Scale
We can compute the frequency of a Pitch in Pythagorean
chromatic tuning, assuming a reference such as A4 equals 440 Hz. We start by computing the fre-
quency of Pythagorean middle C from the reference frequency, using equation (3.11).

Last, we define a variation of the pitchToHz() function. This version has the same name but
takes three arguments instead of one. When supplied with a certain Pitch p, it returns the fre-
quency corresponding to its Pythagorean intonation as a Real value in hertz.

The Return() statement calculates the frequency of the key from the reference frequency
times the ratio for that degree, then adjusts it for the proper octave.
We define the reference frequencies in Musimat as follows:
*****************************************************************************/
Real R = 440.0;
Real cPi4 = R * 16.0/27.0; // Pythagorean middle C, 260.74 Hz
/*****************************************************************************
Finally, we call pitchToHz() with the pitch we want, the Pythagorean reference
frequency, and the ratios of the Pythagorean scale:
*****************************************************************************/
Print("Pythagorian A4=", pitchToHz(A4 , cPi4, pythagoreanChromatic));
/*****************************************************************************
This prints A4=440.0, and
*****************************************************************************/
Print("Pythagorian C4=", pitchToHz(C4 , cPi4, pythagoreanChromatic));
/*****************************************************************************
prints C4=260.74, as expected.
