I was looking at that chart with the colours corresponding to musical notes and was thinking, 'what about all the notes in between.'
The ones that middle eastern music plays like the notes between G and A flat, etc.
Then I remembered that there are infinite numbers between 1 and 2.
Are there infinite notes between G and A flat?
Can one note transcend or descend to another forever?
Yes. If you play the function
sin(2 pi * 440*(1+e^-t)*t)
as a sound (where t is in seconds), you get a note that quickly decends from a'' towards a' in a continuous fashion without ever reaching it. I might put it as a mp3 later l. Whether you call all that stuff "notes" is, I suppose, convention.
Oh, they're notes. They're just not notes which have been assigned their own name in the nomenclature.
