The universal way of using nonstandard tunings works with pitchbend events, if I remember correctly.

Pitchbend messages apply to all notes/chords playing on a MIDI channel, so it won’t work for adjusting the tuning of individual notes.

Yes, it has its limitations. Maybe they could be overcome by having kind of a mapped virtual midi driver system working internally. Anything that would allow to get pitch tuned polyphony up.

from http://xenia.media.mit.edu/~bdenckla/thesis/texts/htthe/node55.html:
“In order to use the pitch bend tuning technique, simultaneous notes that require distinct pitch bends must be played on different channels. This limits the polyphony to 16 notes in the worst case. Larger polyphony can be accommodated if some of the simultaneously sounding notes are separated by a doubling since these notes can be played on the same channel.”

But maybe the compexity of the subject calls for more specialized software, like thatone:
