What are the values based on? I see no pattern or repeat pattern like Hz or
Cents readings. The only thing I could see it being based on is something
related to the notes position in a certain chord then changing values in a
different octave.  The values change each octave.

If it were based on the notes themselves the numbers would follow a pattern.
The 2 blow and 3 draw are the same note but have different values. This
would be a hint that the values are based on the chord in some way.
