convertNoteToMidi

convertNoteToMidi is a useful C library that converts any single musical note value and octave to a midi note. I created it to create a simple means to integrate string-based musical notes in my C based musical projects. This library could be useful for anyone needing to type note values like C#, Bb, or D into your C programs and need to get a precise midi note.

char *note = "G#";
int octave = -2;
int test = convertNoteToMidi(note, octave);
printf("The midi value of %s at octave %i is: %i\n", note, octave, test);

The midi value of G# at octave -2 is: 8
