//! Contains utilities to generate courses based on the circles of fifths.
//!
//! Suppose that you have a course that contains guitar riffs that you would like to learn in
//! all keys. The utilities in this module allow you to define a course in which the first lesson
//! teaches you the riffs in the key of C (or A minor if the riffs were in a minor key). From this
//! lesson, there are two dependent lessons one for the key of G and another for the key of F,
//! because these keys contain only one sharp or flat respectively. The process repeats until the
//! circle is traversed in both clockwise and counter-clockwise directions.
