Calculate them on the fly; otherwise, you'll deal with input error, floating
point error, and so on.
Take care,

I got that. I ended up reading that after I tried to do the divisible by 7,
and that makes more sense. thanks for the link. I'll manually calculate
those because I'm not really sure how to throw in calculations for each note
now that I'm calculating for both black and white.
Thanks,
