Has anyone figured out a way to re-map the entire keyboard of one of the harpsichords so that you get the standard short-octave tuning in the bottom octave only?
Up chromatically from what looks like E2, sounding pitches:
C2-F2-D2-G2-E2-A2, then back to normal from there upwards.

Okay, no replies to this one, so I sat down and figured it out myself!
The solution is to have two instances of PianoTeq open with a harpsichord loaded. For the one, I set up the keyboard mapping with the short-octave setup,
but limited the range to only the bottom (C2-B3) octave (up to MIDI note 47). The other instance I limit the range from C3 (note 48) to the top of the compass, but leave the mapping standard.
The keyboard mapping is E #0, F #5, Gb #2, G #7, Ab #4, and then just #9-10-11 as normal

I'm sorry I didn't see your post sooner, but I don't frequent this forum too often. Anyway, I was going to ask the same thing, and when I responded to the Modartt survey on Pianoteq, this is one of the things I asked about in the comments because virtual J. Salodiensis keyboard is incorrect with its chromatic range and not a short octave as is found on my David Holmes Italian Virginal (fecit 1980) with its C/E-f "' range.
PTQ can load Scala files.
Try to create the tuning file with Scala and load it in PTQ.

Thanks. I'll check that out.
