Tune scale degrees by cents

Just noticed that scale degrees can only be altered by semitones. This locks the Deluge to standard western tuning (12-TET).
Would very much like to be able to tune scale degrees in cent increments. I want my gamelan kit to have gamelan tuning...and it would open the box up for more experimental uses - or Aphex Twin covers

Yhea this would be great. I'm into east african music and woul like to try some things with those scales

Not the same thing. If I understand that thread correctly, it concerns a problem with creating a scale that selects from the regular chromatic notes.
I'm asking (and nigel as well) about being able to create scale degrees that do not fall in the regular chromatic scale. Such as: quartertones, Indian scales, Gamelan tunings, African scales, etc.
i know, imho better to add the microtuning to an overall scales enhancement request.
imho it doesnt make much sense to add microtuning in the current limited scale system.
wicked if Deluge would support scl files http://www.huygens-fokker.org/scala/scl_format.html, the Aphex Twin thing
That's a good point amiga, but otoh an ability to retune scale degrees would be simple to implement and accessible for people like me who like to create scales by ear. Scala file support would be awesome but would probably take more work.
