that's a limitation of MIDI.
if you want to fly, you probably should grow wings.

some notation programs can play midi quarter tones, but turns out it's with pitch bend. I though they allowed for fractional values, they're not as advanced as Pd

well, jack can route MIDI as well...(and ALSA does MIDI-routing as well)

the problem is that I don't know any midi notation program in linux that works. the ones I tried from dave philip's page were unreliable - or something didn't work, but for some reason windows programs work more often with me than linux ones.

on w32, you could try midiyoke.
