Just for comparison, abcm2ps uses an unsigned short int to store the microtone fraction [(num-1) | (den-1)]. All kinds of accidentals (^^, ^, =, _, __) are classified separately. num and den must be positive numbers up to 256. The resolution seems to be smaller than in MIDI, in a certain sense, but the set of values is "rational" instead of "mapped log" steps. One can have this way 65536 variants of ^, 65536 variants of _ and so on. Regards, Hudson -- '-------------------------------------------------------------------.
