Hi,

did you read this?

Regarding MIDI output, lily's midi output is, AFAIK, mainly meant for 
prooflistening purposes. Hence, it's probably a low priority task to add 
advanced microtonal support (such as your #4 and #5) to lily midi output. I 
would guess that e.g. glissando output would be a more useful addition.
