A lot of things look at pitches. With Midi, it's just an offset to the
final output. You could do stuff like
\transposition #(ly:make-pitch 0 0 3/100)
and that has a reasonable interpretation (no idea whether the way
pitches are implemented will result in reasonable Midi, though). With
visuals, not so much. And it's not just an "offset": a whole
arrangement of notename and accidentals and custom engravers might
depend on them.
