Key-aware MIDI note spelling: B sharp keeps the sounding octave number · case 04

In C# major, middle C is spelled B#4, an octave above the sounding pitch, instead of B#3.

Case contract

Input [midi, fifths] with midi 0..127 and fifths -7..7. Use flat names when fifths < 0, sharp names otherwise; in keys with at least six sharps pitch class 5 is E#, with seven sharps pitch class 0 is B# of the previous octave, and with at least six flats pitch class 11 is Cb of the next octave. Octave -1 starts at key 0. Invalid input returns None.

Why this case matters

Pitch spelling and interval arithmetic decide the notes that notation, transposition and analysis tools display or play.
