Would access to a lower level abstraction be useful to microtonal musicians or 
would this be entirely in the realm of getting fluidsynth to deal with scala 
files or nasty pitch-bend hacks in MIDI? (which is probably out of scope for 
this discussion)

Personally, I'm not on LAD and I'd like to keep track of this discussion, that

the other coders have something that actually needs testing. I can always 
check the archives.
