Detailed Description

Musical note duration for tempo-synchronized timing.

NoteDuration represents musical time durations (whole notes, quarter notes, etc.) and provides conversion to seconds based on tempo from AudioPlayHead. This is useful for tempo-synced delays, LFOs, arpeggiators, and other time-based effects that need to follow the host DAW's tempo.

Key Features:

• Standard musical note durations (whole, half, quarter, etc.)
• Dotted and triplet variations
• Tempo-synchronized conversion to seconds
• Pre-defined list of common durations
• Support for bars and beats

The class stores duration as bars and beats (quarter notes), then converts to seconds using the current tempo from the host's transport.

Usage:

// Get standard note durations
auto durations = NoteDuration::getNoteDurations();
// Contains: 1/64, 1/32, 1/16, 1/8, 1/4, 1/2, 1 bar, etc.
 
// Use with tempo sync
auto quarterNote = NoteDuration("1/4", 0.0f, 1.0f);
float seconds = quarterNote.toSeconds(audioPlayhead);
// At 120 BPM: returns 0.5 seconds
 
// For delay time
auto delayTime = NoteDuration::toSeconds(audioPlayhead, paramValue);
