Johannes, I can't answer this question. It's beyond my understanding of musical theory.
As a practical matter, I'd recommend implementing the simplest version first. Then the bells and whistles can be added later. If your code gets 90% of the needed uses, it's helpful even if it can't do the last 10%. It's good to keep this kind of discussion on the list, rather than shifting it to private email, so I've copied it back to the list.
