Im curious about microtonal composition, but know nothing about it. 

hat you suggest would in principle not be all that difficult. 
One would implement a new drawing function, that would interpret midi-events
the way you want. 

Please note that our current codebase has some problems, doesnt
compile on windows, and not everything has been ported to wxwidgets 2.

Furthermore, most of us has very little time to spend on this project.

Personally I dont have much time to code, but I can help explain
things. I think it would be nice if Jazz++ could find a niche amongst
the sequencers as the one that is open to experimentation.

C will take you a  long wah with the jazz++ codebase.

PLease explain further.
