Which control is used for this? Right-click on the piano keys in the roll editor and you'll see a few options: Mark/unmark semitone, Mark scale (if a scale is selected), Mark chord (again, if selected), Unmark all. This is purely a visual aid to help putting the notes in place and does nothing to the sound or allowable notes. Some way of notes (optionally) aligning into the selected spots could of course be useful. > 3.

Does the "Scales" control provide the just-intonation ( > http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Just_intonation) that is used in Indian music > (both Hindustani and Karnatic music)? I'll have to say "no" to both. And I don't think there really is any microtonality anywhere in LMMS, except for ZynAddSubFX. It would be pretty cool to have the option to retune all the instruments to any system you like, but there are probably loads of more important improvements to be made.
