Re: Writing notes in Pythagorean tuning in microlily

[Hans Åberg]

Normally, one lets the staff system refer to Pythagorean tuning, and the file 
regular.ly lets one produce MIDI output in some ET, for Pythagorean tuning, E53 
is suitable. Then the arrows in the snippet refer to Helmholtz-Ellis notation 
for (5-limit) Just Intonation, where the arrows are originally syntonic commas. 
Those arrowed accidental glyphs are planned to be added to LilyPond, but I do 
not know if that has happened yet. Otherwise, one can SMuFL and openlilylib.
