Will do.

The Arabic notes actually fit OK in the existing tables because from a
notational view they correspond well to the standard accidentals LP
offers. The problem is in the interpretation/playback -- Arabic
microtonal accidentals are just-tempered and only approximately
correspond to quarter-tones.
Still, I'll move them to a 'Non-Western pitches' section if you prefer.
