I think most people who want to do microtonal stuff will want to do it
with equal temperament, and that's already implemented. Scala files
aren't really suitable for microtonal because it's possible to define
vastly different interval sizes from one note to the next, so I think
anyone who tries it should be happy with what they get. The "purist"
approach would be your "brutal" method, (floor ) the keynum, but I think
a little interpolation would be nice.

I think curve fitting would be overkill here. In the past I've
implemented simple linear interpolation, which is a cludge but should be
good enough for our purposes.
