Don't forget that I have little interest in microtonal. Don't forget that this is an abstraction, and you can either modify it to support microtonal and I accept, or you modify it and I refuse the changes and you rename it to [microtone] and then I accept it. (!)
then there's quarter-, eight-, sixteenth-, etc. tones (just to say some for which there exist already notation standards),
Never seen those. We're getting close to the precision limit of the mouse anyway, so, you will have to figure out another way to get more precise than 100 ¢ (I never liked the single-pixel precision of Pd, so, when we're already down to 2 px per 100 ¢,
"natural" tunings (harmonic series), other tunings
If you need any kind of just-intonation, it's better to write it in whole semitones at first and then use a translator that turns 64 into 63.8631 and so on, isn't it ? Or are there any complications with that ?
cent notation...
Why not use [nbx] or a plain numberbox (Ctrl+3) for that ?
as I see it, no notation object is complete without being possible to incorporate these as well (I didn't download your object yet, so didn't see how you do it).
And once it is completed, people will find another reason to call it non-complete, such as its inability to represent probability distributions of pitches that are supposed to sound different each time you play them, or what if the pitch is a complex number, or a quaternion, or a matrix. I mean, I don't really believe in this "complete" word, unless I can see an end to the feature expansion.
