A 3-byte frequency resolution is possible which is a little better than one-hundredth of a cent: http://www.midi.org/techspecs/midituning.php I also believe that the Scala software can re-tune a midi file according to a microtonal scale using such single-note real-time sysex messages. http://www.huygens-fokker.org/scala/ The Scala software contains example scales with 79 notes per octave so your proposal of 1366 notes per scale may be feasible. Unfortunately I do not experiment in this area so I cannot provide any more detailed information.
