                   Only regular fifth-based transpositions can be used.

                   are transposed in 12 edo, so an additional offset must be applied
                   to convert it to a fifth-based transposition in n-edo.

        //         | should come with a textual annotation describing the key signature to the plugin.
        //
        //       e.g. if the key signature has an Eb, and the note to be transposed up is D#.
        //            By right, transposing up should favour accidentals representing upward movements,
        //            thus the new note should be D#^.

        //            the new transposed note should be an Eb instead.
        //

        //    c. Next, if the new note would have had an enharmonic equivalent that EXCEEDS the pitch
        //       (in the direction that it is being tranposed) of the following line's key signature,
        //       PLEASE move it to the next line.
        //       No one would want to read a D that sounds higher than an E.
        //
        //       e.g. if the key signature has a Cb, and the note to be transposed up is B#,
        //            the new note would be B#^ (which is enharmonically C natural), which is
        //            higher in pitch than Cb. In fact, B# is already higher than Cb and this
        //            scenario would only happen if someone explicitly placed a sharp on the B.
        //            The B#^ would be spelt as a C instead.
        //

        //    d. And conversely to c., if the new note would have had an enharmonic equivalent that
        //       doesn't exceed the pitch of the following line's key signature,
        //       do NOT move to the next line unless absolutely neccessary, e.g. when there are no more
        //       enharmonics available on the current line.
        //
        //       e.g. if the key signature has a Cb and a Bdb, and the note to be tranposed down is
        //            C, the new note should be spelt as Cv, and not B#, as B# is not lower than
        //            the pitch of Bdb.
        //
        //            However, if the note to be transposed down is Cbb already (which is enharmonically Bb),
        //            then the new note has to be spelt Bbv as per clause b. as there are no
        //            notes below Cbb that are spelt with C.
        //

        //    e. If there is no accidental history within this bar for this particular note line,
        //       check if this note's ACCIDENTAL TYPE (not offset!) coincides with the key signature,
        //       and if it does, it is not necessary to create an explicit accidental for this note.
        //       (Set to Accidental.NONE)

        //    f. Finally check if amongst the accidental list if the accidental that this new
        //       note would've had would coincide with an accidental that already previously existed somewhere
        //       prior to this one in the same bar, and if so, it is not necessary to create an explicit
        //       accidental for this note. (Set to Accidental.NONE)

        //    XXX: Behavior of multiple notes on the same line & sharing the same stem (tick position) is
        //         VERY JANKY. The plugin should try to mitigate any unwanted behavior as much as possible.
        //
        //         The plugin should read successive notes on the same line in the order that they appear in
        //         the Chord.notes array. The first note in the array is the one to the left, the second and subsequent ones
        //         are the ones to the right.
        //         If there are successive notes on the same line sharing the same stem,
        //         they have to be treated as subsequent notes just as how two notes of the same line
        //         just as two notes on the same line across different tick time values.
        //
        //         The following scenarios represent notes in succession that may or may not
        //         share the same tick values, but notes are always fed to the
        //         plugin API in the same order they are displayed, which would mean
        //         using the index of which the note appears in the Chord.notes array
        //         to determine which note (in the same chord and line) comes first is
        //         perfectly ok.
        //
        //         Musescore orders the notes in the Chord.notes array from left to right, then bottom to top,
        //         in terms of how they are displayed, which ensures all the notes on the same line are
        //         adjacent elements in the note array, which this algorithm uses to its advantage.
        //
        //         Experiements are done to prove that musescore does not tamper with note index order within
        //         the Chord.notes array whilst pitches / lines are being edited. Even when the cursor
        //         is moved back and forth between segments, the indices of all the notes hold their correlation
        //         no matter the new pitch and displayed order of notes.
        //
        //         HOWEVER, there is no way of predicting whether a note tranposed up to a new line
        //         will appear before or after notes that already exist in that line.
        //         XXX: This causes a HUGE problem because there's no way to determine whether
        //         a note on the same line in a following chord segment will have its accidental
        //         affected or not. As such, if a note is enharmonically transposing, BOTH same-line notes
        //         that are within the same chord as the transposed note, AND that are within an
        //         adjacent chord segment in the same bar will have to be given EXPLICIT accidentals.
        //         This is as much for machine as it is for human readability.
        //
        //         The accidental state at line of which the new note enharmonically transposes to is
        //         BOTCHED at that particular tick segment and its value is unpredictable and useless.
        //         The plugin will make a best effort attempt to reinstate the newly transposed note's
        //         accidental as the most updated accidental state, but there is no telling whether or
        //         not the transposed note takes precedence and comes after all the other notes in the
        //         chord that shares the same line, thus the plugin will try to detect double-note lines
        //         and try its best to avoid making guesses.
        //
        //         So far, the botched the accidental state problem affects case vi. of step 2,
        //         and also the accidental state required in steps 1e. and 1f.
        //
        //         THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN SOLVED by introducing STATELESS accidental evaluation.
        //         This plugin now reads accidentals from the score directly in a best-effort attempt
        //         to prevent making dumb guesses.
        //
        //         In addition, a few key notes are populated and updated into parms for each
        //         note to be operated on:
        //
        //         the parms.noteOnSameOldLineAfter value contains the first
        //         note element object after the note to be transposed note that is of the same
        //         chord and line as the transposed note before transposing, respectively.
        //
        //         Similarly, notesOnSameChordNewLine contains ALL the notes that the new transposed note
        //         would share the same line with after transposition has taken place.
        //         This value is HYPOTHETICAL as it only applies if the transposed note is enharmonically spelt.
        //
        //         These notes, if present, take the place of the notes other following chord segments
        //         that share the same line as the note lines before or after transposing, as it would have come first.

        //             However, the plugin API endpoint does not expose this feature,
        //             furthermore, as microtonal accidentals have no first-class support,

        //          that is after the lastTiedNote of the transposing note.
        //        - If the note is enharmonically tranposed, the first note within the same
        //          bar on the same line as the tranposing note after enharmonically transposing,
        //          that is after the lastTiedNote of the transposing note. (rep by followingNewLine)

        //          element itself are candidates for immediate notes.
        //
        //      An explicit accidental is ALWAYS added on the immediate notes within the same bar unless:
