My attempts are more than a few years old so my memory is foggy...
timidity has some tuning support poorly documented.
It has some 3 ways of re-tuning -- pitch-bend, and 2 'batch-modes's -- the
details I forget
The pitch bend sounded horrible and different on linux and windows.
The two 'batch-modes' -- the sysex option (if thats what its called) I
could not figure out at all. The 'load-a-scala-file' seemed to work
somewhat but I could not figure out some parameters.
Fluidsynth I could not make any sense of.
My problem is that I was brought up on an (old) steinway. So when a
software is built analogically to some hardware that is assumed to be
familiar to all, I dont know where to start...

Personally I can say that after I got my
keyboards with a handful of
tunings a new world has opened to me. If only I could have done some of
that with timidity/fluidsynth...
Do you mean you would like to have a keyboard app that has preset
sample/tuning for various different scales?
It's certainly possible to create your own now but I haven;t come across
an app that takes on that functionality yet.
It might be a nice addition to CMKeyboard if someone else hasn't already
started/finished.
