In the OPTIONS--SET TEMPERAMENT (built-in) one can select:

1. Equal temperament
2. Meantone (1/4 comma)
3. Vallotti (1/6 comma)
4. Kirnberger (1/2 comma)
5. Temperament Ordinaire
6. Pythagorean (harsh for harmony)
7. Extended meantone
8. "Just" tuning in C.

OR

Any 12-note tuning for external midi.

MY OPINION: It's worth getting.

Thanks for the info. Does that mean the software simply tunes 12 pitches per octave differently? Or can you have more than 12 pitches per octave and somehow make use of their tuning parameters during the composition process?
