[mod] and [div] are quite important concepts in music : you can use them
to cut the time in measures and the measures into their subunits, or to
cut the pitch space into octaves and smaller units.
for example, [mod 8] and [div 8] can turn a timescale of quaver index into
a timescale of measure index + a number between 0 to 7 to select a quaver
inside a measure. (unfortunately, [mod] works completely in ints, so you
need something else if you need to play with fractions of quavers)
and when you take the number 55 to write "G4", you're using [mod 12] to
get the 7 that means G, and [div 12] to get the 4 for the number of the
octave.
