I just happened across a Sept 2010 post on lilypond-devel regarding microtones. It reminded me how I've been wanting to work on Byzantine notation support for lilypond. I would love to have a tool that could actually transcribe between western and Byzantine notation, and produce midis. That would be amazing.
If you like, you might start using staff notation alone: there are similar scales in oriental (Persian/Arab/Turkish) music. One then introduces some microtonal accidentals.
I have looked through some Byzantine scales, and can see more or less how to do it. You might use E72 or E53, the latter if you learn Graham Breed's implementation.
