I would prefer we wait for a need more pressing than @sub before making
such a decision, because Texinfo 5.0 requires a newer Perl than is
installed on many of the systems I use. In fact, @sub is not strictly
necessary; when the output is Info or ASCII, it emits:
a midi number to scientific pitch notation. For example, ‘500 Hz’ gets
converted to ‘B_4 + 21.3094853649 cents’ and ‘84’ to ‘C_6’.
which is not very distinct from:
a midi number to scientific pitch notation. For example, ‘500 Hz’ gets
converted to ‘B4 + 21.3094853649 cents’ and ‘84’ to ‘C6’.
and possibly more confounding, as underscores are seldom seen in musical
notation.
