Represents a single note. Notes belong to Chord Object objects.

A new Note can be created with:
  note = new Note();
or
  note = new Note(score);
where score is a Score Object object.

Notes belonging to a given Chord can be accessed with the Chord.note(index) and Chord.topNote() methods of the Chord object.
