storing that spelling of pitch has not been set #27

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

pitch objects can store an attribute to show that they do not yet know what 
enharmonic equivalent they may be.

useful setting pitches from pitch class numbers and from midi

"we also talked at some point about recording implicit spelling.  So for
instance [3,4,5] is not necessarily D#, E, F.  It could be Eb, Fb, Gbb.  I
think we want to store somewhere that the spelling of the pitch has not been
specified.  The place we will really want that is in midi import.  That way an
algorithm that respells accidentals could decide only to apply to those that
were implicitly spelled, leaving alone those that were explicitly given".

now on Pitch as the .implicitAccidental attribute; this is configured based on 
the way in which the Pich value is set.
