Can I make custom pitches for each note?
I want to transcribe for an instrument that is locked into the harmonic series, and I would like playback to be able to have the correct pitches.

You can detune any entered note by + or - 300 cents using the Inspector

Thank you, this does work. Is it possible to set these offsets as defaults? That would save a good amount of time.

No way to do that, but if this is more than a onetime experiment, you (or someone else sufficiently motivated) could probably write a plugin to do this.

There's a scordatura plugin that might help. I tried it quite hopefullyfor actual scordatura purposes. And I was in regular dialog with the plugin developer, but then communication ceased. I found the plugin quite promising, and from a UX perspetive it was both impressive but awkward and confusing to me. In the end I found it too buggy overall, and there was no further guidance from the developer, no written documentation, so sadly I dropped it. But it may work for you and your goals! I'll see if I can locate it ... and some of the discussions.

I think detuning affects timbre in noticeable ways. It works in a pinch ..., and acceptably maybe for a semitone or two. But it won't sound identical to the timbre of the pitch of the "sound font" x semitones lower. Try an octave lower—I think that will bear me out. More ideal would be a MID offset!

Ah, yes.
Sammik created the scordatura plugin. And he mentions it here.
Mainly I had trouble getting it to work consistently. And the video tutorials were hard to follow.
Hopefully we'll see a new incarnation of sammik's scordatura plugin. When it worked the results were just what I was after.
