AZ--100% accuracy can't be guaranteed where microtonal intervals are concerned. Expect the tendency common to most Westeners of rounding off at least some of the microtones in such pieces to the nearest half tone. But if you can provide a good audio or video version of the song, every effort will be made to duplicate whatever tones are heard.
