don't forget that chromatic pitches is just a small fraction of what's  
available. then there's quarter-, eight-, sixteenth-, etc. tones (just to  
say some for which there exist already notation standards), "natural"  
tunings (harmonic series), other tunings, cent notation...

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).
