Yes. That's Right.
That's actually what I was asking.

How can we make lilypond's midi file play in different tuning systems, in 
different pitchs, and/or in a flexible way, (e.g. when I would like all the 
major 3rds of every major chord in a piece -- so it's not a fixed certain 
notes, but rather, a condition for certain notes --  to be played "just 
intonation" or otherwise tuned.)
(Before my final decision of how the pitches should be tuned or played, so 
to be heard.)

Actually, I was trying to convince my ears first that,
"the major 3rds of every major chord in a tonic piece should be played a 
little bit lower -- as 'just intonation' tuned, rather than 12-equal 
temperamented," and hoping Lilypond's midi could play that way.


So, it it possible?
If so, how?
