[OSC_dev] OSC replacement for MIDI

[Gaspard Bucher]

I will read your full article when I get more time.

I just went through your ideas on note representations. I think the
choice of using Hz representation for note hights is not so good.

It's hard to read the relation between 260.74 and 347.65. It's easier
when you write 60 and 64.9804. Any reader can say that there are
"nearly 5" equal tones: it's a special fourth (pythagorean in this
example).

And this is true for 61 and 65.9804 or 100 and 104.9804.

Hz is unusable in practice. I've never seen a musician talk in Hz.
