Cool idea! You’re thinking is exactly how I’d do it.
I'd copy and paste the naturalizeMusic function from the doc and adapt it to
return a list of pitch classes from the music.
Then, you can flatten the returned list (if need be) and do a map on the list
with a lambda function that takes a numeric pitch class and returns a markup
with a note name.
Cheers,
