Piano Range – Keyboard vs Staves and Note Frequency

musixtextikz-pgf

This is a kind of follow-up to this question. The last answer is almost perfect, but the frequency on the keyboard is wrong. For example, C1 should be 32.703, not 32.696. I can't find the error, the formula is correct. Can someone help please ?

Using expl3 to calculate the frequencies (the rest of this answer is shamelessly copied from the answer linked in this question):
