Is there any way to print the koron (60cents flat) and sori (40 cent

Check with Graham Breed - it might be possible now.
I've defined these pitch alterations by modifying makam.ly but they
should really
be printed according to the Persian notation.
I am curious where you got those figures. The values in Hormoz
Farhat's thesis suggest one should use E53 with koron lowering 3
commas and sori raising 2 commas (E53 tonesteps). He describes the
Persian pitch system using a minor (resp. major) second m (resp. M)
plus a neutral second n. In E53 they are m = 4, M = 9, n = 6.
Then I wanted to retune m, M into E12. There is a suggestion that n
can be set to the rational interval 27/25, which is close to Farhat's
values, and also sound good in Scala. If I fix n at that value, a
close approximation is E36, or if you so like, in E12 let (koron resp.
sori) lower 2/3 (resp. raise 1/3) of an E12 tonestep.
Now, this is very close to your suggestion, making me curious about
the motivation for those setting those.
koron = upside down flat, with a triangular body like |>
sori = like sharp but with the two horizontal lines angled to form a
'>' sign.
In Scala, and some other places when only ASCII is available, one uses
koron p
sori >
Any suggestions appreciated, I'm prepared to do some hacking if
required.
I think this should now be possible.
