Er...ok, so here's my question: If (in the key of C, say) you type cis:
dim7, then this gets turned into a chord object which represents it as a
certain list of musical_pitches. If you type des:dim7, then don't you
get a different list? So how do these two lists of musical_pitches get
mapped to things of the form
(((0 . 0) (2 . -1) (4 . -1) ...
in chord-names.scm? Do they both get mapped to the same thing?
cheers.
