In this connection, you may like to note that the upcoming Denemo release will allow you to play back via an internal synth using microtonal accidentals and, of course, print out using whatever LilyPond syntax you program Denemo to use. An example in Denemo's git at the moment uses the mechanism to shift the temperament as a piece modulates, equivalent to having split sharps on a keyboard (as in some 17th c. Italian clavivcembali)
