I used the 'B' stop but you could freeze the parameters and swop in 'A' or 'A+B'...
I forgot to mention...
The above pieces are all ¼ comma, Meantone with a diapason of 422.5 (which the book - see below - tells me was the pitch of Handel's tuning fork!)
I'm not pretentious and quite like reading around a subject and now with the aid of PianoTeq I can hear and experiment to see if I agree with the 'experts.' It's difficult because they don't always agree with each other
I like the fullness of the sound. It's less 'tinny' than the base presets, and seems to exhibit more harpsichord body sound, rather than sounding 'all strings', as the base presets are almost almost like a big autoharp.

Thanks, there's a whole sound scape to explore with PianoTeq with hopefully some pretty spectacular vistas on the way. I'll try to avoid the garbage dumps and slums -
