Dear Kees,

Not sure if it will help you, but you can look at my solution for
microtonal notation in this package: http://people.cs.ubc.ca/~kvdoel/tmp/persian.zip
Thank you for sharing this example. If I am not mistaken, you used the
maqam example of the Lilypond documentation as a starting point for
this. The advantage is that introducing new note names for each pitch
nominal and accidental combination makes the score is rather concise
(however, you first have to define all those combinations and with a
large number of accidentals as in the case of something like the
Helmholtz-Ellis notation -- or Saggital notation for that matter --
you get very very many note names).
I previously thought that the approach you are using is limited to
signs from the Feta font, but you obviously managed to use other fonts
as well, great! I will keep a mental note of that :)
Nevertheless, I don't see how with this approach you can have
accidentals that consist of multiple signs. In order to make this
point more clear I attached a version of the previous example
transposed down by a septimal comma.
The accidentals for the chord get very cluttered in this example. Is
it somehow possible to adapt the collision-avoidance code of
accidentals to take the whole "area" of the accidental markups into
account? I would rather prefer the output takes too much space than it
is unreadable like this. For example, it would be great if accidental
combinations would horizontally follow each other: first all
accidentals for this note, then for that etc.
Thank you!
Best
Torsten
