scientific(note)

Takes a note string in Scientific pitch notation and returns an array describing the interval of that note relative to A4. The returned interval is in the format [octaves, fifths] - that is, an array consisting of two numbers, the first the number of octaves to jump, the second the number of fifths to jump from A4 to land at the desired note.
