I am developing software to automatically implement alternate tunings in MIDI files through the use of pitch bends or other methods. The idea is to allow notation on a staff or piano roll without regard to the actual pitches represented, then processing the resultant MIDI file along with a scale file to produce a second MIDI file with the notes adjusted and pitch bends inserted before each note to tune to the proper pitch on-the-fly. Is there an established system that precisely identifies each pitch? I know that the MIDI note numbers identify 12TET but what about the rest?
