I've studied a bit the code of abc2midi and found it was probably
difficult to make some change in it (for the value pitch) so
that new quarter notes can be added between the normal notes :
the array pitch is set for integer values (and many times in the
code, not easy to change this to float),
If you happen to be using timidity to play the midi file,
then you can reset the temperament to contain quartertone
intervals. The names of the notes would no longer match
their real values, howver.

Hi, I'm only new here, and just lurking trying to learn but...
I *think* the pitchbend works on MIDI instruments by sending control
messages to report changes in the position of the wheel. If this is the
case, I would guess it needs to be sent an event to put things back to
normal, otherwise
The problem with using midi pitchbend is that the number which represents
the amount of pitch change is not standardised, so a midi file which
plays correctly on one synth cannot be guaranteed to do so on another.
According to the midi 1.0 standard, (which may well have been superceded
by now):
