Hello Petter.
You could use Csound. It allows to write frequency in three different
ways:
name abbreviation
octave point pitch-class (8ve.pc) pch
octave point decimal oct
cycles per second cps
[from the Csound manual]
so you can easily use microtonal divisions.
You can search Csound info, src and bin starting from here:
