Again, not sure what you mean by VST2 Detune (I assume that's the PTQ STD/PRO Detune window that's controllable by VST), but I do know that the Scala files that PTQ supports are only limited by 32-bit values and can express tuning relationships in rational instead of float formats. While I don't know if PTQ ignores rational decimals after a certain, arbitrary precision (or if being 64-bit does anything to increase scala tuning precision), if you want maximal precision, the scala format is your best option.

What is the accuracy of the tuning in Pianoteq when microtuned using the VST2 Detune parameter? 1 cent? 0.5 cents? 0.1 cents?

I don't know which plugin you are using so can't answer the specific question...

What I can say, upon observation is this:

Instruments have a detune graph under options and this is accurate to 1 cent
The Advanced Tuning setting is accurate to 0.1 cents
PianoTeq will respond to MTS-ESP by ODDSOUNDS and this is accurate to 0.01 cents

I hope that is useful ?
