That sounds like a perfect pitch-type exercise. It's part of ear training,
but it's a bit fringe and not something most people work on.

That sounds interesting. I've got a whole lot of Pascal (Delphi for Windows)
code for working with music, like transposing notes by certain intervals
and so on.. but I work on a casual basis developing ear training software
for money, and that software is not open source.
