AFAIK, you've been able to do that from within MIDI files using MTS
since version 1.1.0.
If possible, that's the best way to deal with the issue. It's
more-or-less portable, there's no agreement on what would constitute
"perfect" tuning anyway, and, besides, key changes effectively happen
all the time without corresponding changes in signature.
What's more, MTS and pitch-bend are the only mechanisms provided by
MIDI for dealing with unpredictable things like commas and harmonic
sevenths.
Of course, you can set up alternate *temperaments* with configuration
files. I usually use Young's tuning since I have to deal with open
thirds quite a bit.
Thank you for the information. It points me in the right direction.
I still have the challenge of describing algorithmically what I did
by-ear way back then.
In your last paragraph, what sort of configuration files were you
referring to? Are they configuring the tuning of FluidSynth? Or are a
way of entering the MIDI MTS bulk data?
