Ok, well I guess if I ever need that range (only one piece I know of that goes there---Rachmaninoff's 3rd Piano Concerto), I'll worry about it then.

Thanks.
So, just asking again, is there a way within LMMS (perhaps a plugin, etc.) to tune those notes that are several semitones out of tune? I've read about auto-tune plugins for some DAWs, but is there one for LMMS? Thanks.
And with that one, it's the same old problem as before: won't load an instrument. I did listen to the demo, though---was carefully listening for any even slightly out of tune notes...only heard one, right before it switched to the electric piano, and that one note made me cringe. But it's irrelevant...
One more test I should have thought of to confirm that the keyboard was sending the right data at the low end...the piano roll. And it is. Keyboard is now, eliminated from suspicion of being badly programmed at that end (as I expected, but wanted to rule out human error in its programming) So is it ...
I wish I'd thought of checking that.... No, with the built-in organ, C1 is in tune, as is everything down to A0. I didn't test it with the tuner, though, because none of the tuners I found were accurate at those pitches. But my ears can tell if a note is the slightest bit sharp or flat. So it's not ...
I'm really at a loss as to who to start asking here, so I'm asking folks I know are helpful and if it's not LMMS, can hopefully point me in the right direction. First, the simple configuration.

Thanks. I'm out of ideas, too. I'll just have to try the MSe files (never know, some might work that I haven't tried) and either keep or rm them, and use the real VSTs. I can't think of anything less.
QT plugin locked up lmms, requirijng a kill. No embedding screwed up the GUI (instruments GUI no longer attached to LMMS GUI), but did nothing to change the loading (or rather, the failure thereof) of MSE files.
