Staff position and ledger lines for a clef: octaves weighted in semitones · case 05

Notes outside the reference octave land dozens of positions away (C5 in treble at position 18).

Case contract

Input [note, clef] where note is a letter, accidentals (# b x, ignored for placement) and a nonnegative octave, and clef is treble (bottom line E4), bass (G2), alto (F3) or tenor (D3). Position counts diatonic steps above the bottom line (lines are even positions 0..8). Ledger lines: below the staff (-position)//2 for negative positions, above (position-8)//2 for positions over 8, else 0. Return [position, ledgers] or None when invalid.

Why this case matters

Engraving and notation-rendering code places noteheads and ledger lines from pitch spellings.
