1)  Highest note:  e.g., I use c' for middle c, C for Great C, and c'''' for high c with changes occuring at the c notes.

2)  Accidentals:  i.e., some harps are tuned with b's, e's, and a's flattened such that levers bring them "up" to natural.

4
4.125
4.45
4.875
...
46.5

49

Please do not label your lengths with numbers or notes; just a single column please.
