Re: [LAD] Some proposals for fluidsynth and qsynth

I spent some time learning about MTS. Probably, i heared about it but forgot.
If i understood it right, it is also great thing to make music natural, tuning
single notes in real time.

It would be useful to look to that script at least to see MTS implementation.
And even more, by inverting of code we may get nice exporter for scala files.
As for 12-tones restriction, hope it is not for long time).

After that some dedicated scale editor would be nice, because editing of such
events in hex mode is not for real music creation.
