Not a built-in command, but you can use "@to12" if you save this file in
the
Scala directory:

! to12.cmd
echo Duplicate tones to make 12.
copy 0 1
equal 12
swap 1
select/model 1
! The next optional command shifts the pitch to accommodate a
! range restriction:
! set adjustment

You probably need to see if there's a number in the sysex data
that influences this. Sometimes there's a "device number" and Scala
only uses 0. Then you could patch the sysex midi file by hand
using mf2t and t2mf.

Another more elegant possibility is to leave the scale unchanged
and do the duplicate tone assignment via the keyboard mapping:

key/mapping 0
show mapping
