		In atonal, twelve tone, or set theory a "pitch" is a specific frequency while a pitch class is all the octaves of a frequency.
		Pitches are named with integers because of octave and enharmonic equivalency (for example, C# and Db are the same pitch while C4 and C5 are functionally the same).
		The pitch used for an English cathedral organ in the 17th century for example, could be as much as five semitones lower than that used for a domestic keyboard instrument in the same city.

	Reference.com/Encyclopedia/Pitch (music)
		Pitches are often labeled using scientific pitch notation or some combination of a letter and a number representing a fundamental frequency.
		Pitches may be described in various ways, including high or low, as discrete or indiscrete, pitch that changes with time (chirping) and the manner in which this change with time occurs: gliding; portamento; or vibrato, and as determinate or indeterminate.
		Pitches are named with integers because of octave and enharmonic equivalency (for example, C# and Db are the same pitch while C4 and C5 are functionally the same, one octave apart).

		Helmholtz notation is widely used by scientists and doctors when discussing the scientific and medical aspects of sound in relation to the auditory system.
		The Fasola tradition, which uses shape note notation, is one of unaccompanied singing, that is, without any assistance by instruments.Thus when singing shape-note hymns it is the practice first to "sing the notes", that is, to sing the fa-sol-la syllables corresponding to the shapes in the music before singing the text.
		In integer notation, or the integer model of pitch, all pitch classes and intervals between pitch classes are designated using the numbers 0 through 11.

	Scientific pitch notation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Scientific pitch notation in Western music is a method of naming the notes of the standard Western chromatic scale by combining a letter-name, accidentals, and an Hindu-Arabic numeral identifying the pitch's octave.
		It provides an unambiguous means of identifying a note in terms of musical notation rather than frequency, while at the same time avoiding the transposition conventions that are used in writing the music for instruments such as the clarinet and guitar.
		The notation is sometimes used in the context of meantone temperament, and does not always assume equal temperament nor the standard concert A of 440 Hz; this is particularly the case in connection with earlier music.

		Pitch is an attribute of every musical tone; the fundamental, or first harmonic, of any tone is perceived as its pitch.
		The earliest successful attempt to standardize pitch was made in 1858, when a commission of musicians and scientists appointed by the French government settled upon an A of 435 cycles per second; this standard was adopted by an international conference at Vienna in 1889.
		The relative pitch of a tone, in contrast to absolute pitch, is an expression of its pitch in relation to the pitch of some other tone taken as a standard.

	The Case Against Over-notation
		Because the scientific paradigm above, and the philosophical stance it takes toward a work of music, is widely brandished as a power weapon, and used as such to marginalize, and diminish the role of, composers who don't subscribe to it.
		In such a case, it would be artistically ludicrous for the composer to go through and shape every nuance via notation, when such nuances weren't at all essential to his or her own mental image of the work.
		Notation can be misleading: you put staccato dots on notes, but there are different kinds of staccato, and the performer may use a Prokofiev-style staccato when you were looking for something more subtle.

		In my notation, the vertical spacing of the lines is directly proportional to the acoustical sizes of the intervals between the corresponding pitches, so the spaces are different sizes.

		I totally agree with your statement that "To think of the problem of music audio transcription as just a pitch recognition problem is probably a gross over-simplification of the problem." The proof of this is by the failure of the FFT approach with music.
		At first glance, it might seem that attempting to identify the different pitches of simultaneously performing instruments might be much more difficult, and less successful, if a dynamic analysis approach is taken.

		One way in which pitch could be controlled was with the use of tuning forks, although even here there was variation - a tuning fork associated with Handel, dating from 1740, is pitched at A = Template:Audio-nohelp, while a later one from 1780 is pitched at A = Template:Audio-nohelp, almost a semitone lower.

		This does not symbolize the pitches that will be heard when the music is played, but what the guitarist must do to get the desired pitches: put the fingers on such-and-such frets on such-and-such strings, or leave the strings "open" (not stopped at a fret).
		Carrillo's numbering of all the pitches in an octave is theoretically suitable for any number of such pitches, but in practice he seems to have confined himself to those systems (12 18 24 30..96) which were multiples of 6 tones per octave and thus compatible with the 6-tone scale of Debussy) et al.

		This creates a linear pitch space in which octaves have size 12, semitones (the distance between adjacent keys on the piano keyboard) have size 1, and A440 is assigned the number 69.
		People with a sense of these relationships are said to have relative pitch while people who have a sense of the actual frequencies independent of other pitches are said to have "absolute pitch", or "perfect pitch".
		From the early 18th century, pitch could be also controlled with the use of tuning forks (invented in 1711), although again there was variation.

	A History of Lute Tablature Transcriptions (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		With the decline of the lute in the eighteenth century, the quandary of tablature vs. pitch notation became less of an issue for music practitioners, though on occasion one would run into disparaging remarks regarding lutenists and their tablature.
		Clearly, the ideas regarding grand staff notation for guitar which circulated in the early decades of the century, and as we mentioned before, were the concerns of Coste’s teacher Fernando Sor at one point, were by this time largely forgotten.
		If, for example, the actual G pitch of the lute was based on an A=415hz, the transcription for guitar, when played on a guitar tuned in A=440 would be much closer to the original pitch level than a transcription for keyboard tuned at the same reference pitch.

		, with every possible pitch equally accessible throughout its entire compass, and every possible degree of loudness equally accessible throughout its dynamic range, and incredible range of possible timbres and noises, which in the normal linguistic use of the speaking voice are referred to as vowels and consonants.
		(The piano-tuner can change pitches of the strings continuously, so while tuning, pitch is analog, but the pianist of course is taught to ignore that.) The same highly-digital musical notation is used for voice, violin, piano, harpsichord, and organ, so this analog-vs.-digital question is submerged in a fog of confusion for most of us.

		The highest pitch (without considering harmonics) on the fingerboard is somewhere around F#6, played on the A string, but Zoltán Kodaly's solo sonata requires a spectacular B6 to be played in the concluding measures.
		Harmonics are produced by lightly touching, but not fully depressing, the string with the finger at certain places, and then bowing (or even plucking) the string.
		While the lower range of the cello is limited by the tuning of the lowest string (typically C2, two octaves below middle C, although in many pieces this must be adjusted to hit occasional low notes), the upper range of the cello varies according to the skill of the player, and length of the fingerboard.
