Description: Pyscales
        ========
        
        This module provides representations for musical notes and intervals in the
        basic 12-note even tempered system that is typically used in western music. It
        provides basic arithmetic and conversion to and from midi numbers.
        
        
        Classes, Functions and Definitions
        ----------------------------------
        
        This module provides the following classes:
        
        ``Note``: represents a musical note
        
        ``Interval``: represents the interval between two notes
        
        
        It also provides the following utility functions:
        
        ``get_midi_number(note_string)`` -> midi number
        
        ``in_chord(note, root, chord)`` -> boolean
        
        
        The following intervals are predefined:
        
        ::
        
            P1 = unison = Interval(0)
            m2 = semitone = Interval(1)
            M2 = Interval(2)
            m3 = Interval(3)
            M3 = Interval(4)
            P4 = Interval(5)
            aug4 = dim5 = Interval(6)
            P5 = Interval(7)
            m6 = Interval(8)
            M6 = Interval(9)
            m7 = Interval(10)
            M7 = Interval(11)
            P8 = octave = Interval(12)
        
        
        The following chord types are predefined:
        
        ::
        
            MAJOR = (unison, M3, P5)
            MINOR = (unison, m3, P5)
            SEVENTH = (unison, M3, P5, m7)
        
        
        Examples
        --------
        
        Some examples of use:
        
        ::
        
            >>> Note('c') - Note('a-2')
            Interval(16)
            >>> Note('c') + M3
            Note(64)
            >>> (Note('c3') + P5).get_note_string()
            'G3'
            >>> in_chord(Note('c5'), Note('a'), MINOR)
            True
            >>> in_chord(Note('c5'), Note('a'), MAJOR)
            False
