Paul,
I used your example and made a couple changes:

\version "2.18.2"

#(ly:set-default-scale
  (ly:make-scale
   '#(0 1 3/2 2 3 7/2 9/2 5 6))
  )

myPitchNames =
#`((do   . ,(ly:make-pitch -1 0 NATURAL))
   (di   . ,(ly:make-pitch -1 0 SHARP))
   (re   . ,(ly:make-pitch -1 1 NATURAL))
   (mi   . ,(ly:make-pitch -1 2 NATURAL))
   (fa   . ,(ly:make-pitch -1 3 NATURAL))
   (fi   . ,(ly:make-pitch -1 3 SHARP))
   (so   . ,(ly:make-pitch -1 4 NATURAL))
   (ho   . ,(ly:make-pitch -1 5 NATURAL))
   (hi   . ,(ly:make-pitch -1 5 SHARP))
   (jo   . ,(ly:make-pitch -1 6 NATURAL))
   (la   . ,(ly:make-pitch -1 7 NATURAL))
   (li   . ,(ly:make-pitch -1 7 SHARP))
   (ti  .  ,(ly:make-pitch -1 8 NATURAL)))

#(ly:parser-set-note-names parser myPitchNames)

% EXAMPLE
%{
\score {


{
  do' di' re' mi'
  fa' fi' so' ho'
  hi' jo' la' li'
  ti' do''
}

\midi{}
\layout{}
}
%}

Everything looks great, and the MIDI comes out correct within the octave,
with each semitone up the scale going up a MIDI number. EXCEPT, because
this is a 13-note scale, but MIDI octaves repeat every 12 numbers, I'm back
at square one.
