Since we're assuming a computer in the loop, pre-entering 
the key structure might not be out of the question.

Or: Go ahead and tell the machine when you're changing keys, 
using an auxilliary input like the chord/accompaniment 
keyboards found on some organ-like instrumenets.

Or, if you're willing to settle for not doing it in 
realtime: Record the piece as MIDI, run this optimization 
across it with full ability to scan backward and forward 
through the recording, then play the microtuned result.
