Yes, but a lot of interesting scales can't be played on fretted
instruments.
Then, how could a scale based arpeggiator deal with it, or why should
it even be expected to? Scales and note_pitch sounds like the wrong
tool for that job.

Yes it does, since you need to deal *only* with the
note
number. The scale converter then generates the correct pitch
for the notes in the scale that you reference. That's the
whole point with using note_pitch and scale converters at
all.
I dont think that arpegiation from a non ET scale will fall
exactly on a note anyway - though I'd have to think about that.
