I'm using sfplay to play a piano soundfont.
I want to use it with arbitrary frequencies, so I'm setting iflag to 1, and
bringing the note pitch into xfreq.  Do I still need to send the correct
note number into inotenum, or will sfplay calculate that for me?  If I
do need to send it in, is there a concise way to get the notenumber
from a cps value?

Thanks,

Tobiah

My impression is that with iflag=0 inotenum is only used to select samples 
from their range, having nothing to do with the actual pitch of the sound. 
So you could in theory use a middle-range sample with a very high or low 
fundamental by setting diverging inotenum and xfreq values.
I don't see a converter, but if you want to locate the nearest 
equal-tempered note number you should be able to apply
the expression

12*log2(cps/440.) + 69

to get it.
