sharpraise by half stepsharp symbol

A sharp (♯) raises a note by one half step

In MIDI: add 1 to the note number

Example: F♯ = F plus 1 half step = MIDI 66 (F4=65, so F♯4=66)

A sharp lasts for the entire measure unless canceled by a natural

  "rule": "MIDI note + 1",
  "example": {
    "F#4": 66,
    "derived_from": "F4=65 plus 1"
  }
}
