But my question is: what is the default behavior?  Does timidity force the samples into ET or does it play them as is, with the inharmonicity adjustment?

Suppose a piano soundfont includes adjustments for inharmonicity, so
that pitches deviate slightly from ET, especially at the extremes (high
and low).

If I use timidity to play a midi file with this soundfont, without the
-Z option, is the default to force the pitches into ET?? Or will
timidity just play the pitches in the soundfont without any changes?

In other words, if I want hear the inharmonicity-adjusted pitches, do I
need to use a specific frequency table with the -Z option?
If a piano soundfont includes adjustments for inharmonicity at some
samples, high and low for example, you can adjust the instrument's
root frequency per samples via tune= option in timidity.cfg.

Please see man timidty.cfg(5) for detail.
