Yes, the idea is to tell LilyPond: This pitch is a 13/11 ratio over d, and then choose an appropriate display mode through simply configuration switches. This should *not* be exclusive for one mode of display but a rather modular approach where one can easily add other systems. For (a contrived) example: If someone had the idea asking someone with a 19th-tone trumpet (dividing the octave in 19 equal steps) to play a piece that is conceived as ratios LilyPond should be able to determine the proper "step" in that system and write the remaining cent deviation next to it. This invented composer should take the trouble adding the necessary calculations for the specific system, but our LilyPond library should (then) already provide the necessary building blocks to make that as easy as possible.
