Add abcrange.py to return the range of a tune, and use it in instrument transposition. This lets us transpose on boundaries that aren't octave boundaries.

# Find the range of a tune. Do minimal parsing of an ABC input file
# and print the lowest and highest notes therein. Accidentals are
# ignored.
#
# The output is given in purely numeric form, to avoid needing to
# re-parse it in an external script. A single line is printed with
# the highest note followed by a space and the lowest note. Middle C ('C') is
# 100. D an octave about ('d') is 108. D an octave above that ('d'') is
# 205. D below middle C ('d,') is 94. And so on.
#
# For example:
# $./abcrange.py choon.abc
# choon.abc: 112 97
