Tuning native voices allows increments of 1.17 cents (Tune Fine 
setting).  Perhaps I'm missing something, but tuning MIDI voices only 
allows half step increments it seems.  Do I have to use some external 
computer/keyboard to get greater control of pitch for MIDI?

The case where this came up was I was using the MIDI "tubular bell" 
setting for chimes in a show, when the Music Director suggested that 
the intonation wasn't quite on.  We ended up cutting the part because 
I couldn't get it in tune with the keyboard.

Thanks in advance,

Ok.  I think I've found it. Tuning the MIDI voices isn't done in the 
Voice Edit mode where all the other voice settings are done for MIDI 
and non-MIDI voices (silly me).  It appears to be done in the Utility 
Mode.  I haven't tried it yet, but many of the same functions that 
are in the Voice Mode and targeted at built-in voices are the Utility 
Mode specifically for MIDI voices, according the manual.  I need to 
read more and talk less.

I'll tell you, if this gets any easier....
