You might switch to using SmuFl and E53/E72; the accidentals are available in the Bravura font. E53 can now be used with Graham Breed's file regular.ly. For ETs multiples of 12, it is not needed. I send you files for E53 and E72 with Helmholtz-Ellis notation. For Persian music, the double comma accidental would be suitable. I recommend using E72 because relative E53/Pythagorean tuning, E72 adjusts the diatonic scale to E12, but the neutral seconds change only a few cents. Adam Good reworked the Turkish makam file, and expressed interest in Arabic and Persian music, too. He also felt the the E53/E72 combination was good.
