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

[Joshua Parmenter]

Hi Rick,

Thanks for looking at it. :nearest would be nice, and as far as  
equidistant decisions, I imagine a short warning in the doc would be  
fine. I usually use the function with floats anyways, so I don't  
imagine that happening very often. It would probably also be good to  
change the docs on note and keynum, since 'closest' is used quite a  
bit. This implied to me a round somewhere in the function rather then  
floor...

Thanks again for looking at it. And if you decide to add it to CVS,  
please let me know.

Best,

Josh
