Great point Daniel! I believe this would help a lot in terms of making
things convenient for _both_ the composer _and_ the performer. I've been
contemplating writing a score in 22-tET, and unfortunately, things are not
quite so simple . . . I'll have to have _two_ possible cents deviations
(e.g., -18 or +36 for E) for a given notated pitch.
