What specific section or headline is this issue about?

Creating the note table

What information was incorrect, unhelpful, or incomplete?

I suggest to not list all the frequencies in a very long table, but have one octave listed and the others generated (doubling or halfing the frequencies). This would not only make the function shorter, but it may also teach the readers a little about music.

What did you expect to see?

I think the function could be leaner, and yet more understandable to the reader if the octaves would be generated from one short list.

Do you have any supporting links, references, or citations?

No response

Do you have anything more you want to share?

I am happy to make the changes if the page owners/editors agree with the direction I suggested
