I dont think that arpegiation from a non ET scale will fall exactly on a
note anyway - though I'd have to think about that. I guess it depends what
key you're in... which can't be expressed in a note number anyway, so I
still think its redundant.
Now I think about it you wouldn't want to do arpegiation using note
numbers, what you're interested in the the pitch coefficient to get the
correct harmonic relation.
