Note the difference in spelling: Turkish makam and Arabic maqam. And Persian
dastgah. The site [2] above is of the Arabic maqam. I made a file for that in
E53 with two commas for the microtones, using Graham Breed regular.ly, and
Helmholtz-Ellis accidentals, cf. [3]. The Arabic maqam simply use a different
set of accidental glyphs, two missing in the traditional system, the ones with
arrows at [2].
It would be good if you listen to the microtonal pitches of the MIDI at [3],
telling if they sound fine.
