I have made the Arabic maqam for E53 and for Helmholtz-Ellis accidentals using 
Graham's regular.ly, for the maqam at [1]. You need only to change the glyphs. 
I send it to you off the list. Note that the Arabic microtonal accidentals are 
incomplete, only 2 as compared with the Turkish 4, so they need to put arrows 
on the microtonal accidentals in some case there. The Helmholtz-Ellis notation 
makes this clear.

For the Persian Dastgah, Kees van den Doel made a persian.ly which is set in 
E60 I think. Lilypond lacks the Persian microtonal accidentals koron and sori 
accidentals, so that would requires SMuFL.
