Using a custom tuning table in this way sounds like a very clever solution. Along these lines, let me share something someone else turned me on to. Its an older program called Scala which can be used for microtunings. I have only played with it a little, but I have used it to generate a test tuning table to upload to my P2500. Not sure it will help here, but I thought I'd mention it as long as tuning tables came up. http://www.huygens-fokker.org/scala/

Warning: For me the learning curve was rather steep (too steep, in fact, for me to go beyond basic testing to make sure it would work). Others may have more success with it. In the short run, it might be quicker to use the CS front panel (or software, if it allows creating tuning tables). In the long run, using Scala to generate tuning tables might open up creative possibilities with microtuning.
