Hi Mark,  As I understand it, what is called a "pitch" in LilyPond consists
of three values: an octave, a note name/position within that octave
(ABCDEFG), and an alteration (sharp, flat, natural, etc.).  So that means
there's no consistent way to go from semitones to a "pitch" (in the LilyPond
sense) because the same semitone value could be mapped to multiple
"pitches," an f-sharp and a g-flat in the same octave, for instance.

But maybe you're interested in some different notion or understanding of
"pitch"?
