[CM] (keynum :through) and (note :through) bug?

[Rick Taube]

joshua -- apologies for the delay in this reply but i havent had much  
time to stare at code lately. the behavior you encountered isnt a bug  
but it also isnt much of a feature, its due to a 'floor' like search  
of the mode's legal steps. i could change that behavior but that  
would break existing behavior.

perhaps i could add a :nearest keyword that would look for the  
nearest (rather than the lower) step (?) so you would write:

(note 67 :nearest mymod)

of course if its equidistant to a step above AND below then it still  
might not return the one you want, so ill have to think about how  
best to do this.
