That's at the extremes. But even just using Harry Partch's 43-Tone
tuning system reduces the available octave range to just under four
octaves instead of the 10+ one normally gets with MIDI when using
Timidity's tuning table method. I would like for someone to be able to
generate a piece of music using any tuning they want and not be
limited in the range that it produces.
