There are a number of ways of exploring different tunings in csound,
which is what I do amongst others.

1) For nET scales there are the opcodes cps2pch and cpsxpch.  The
first allows the oct.pch notation to be used in any number (upto 99)
equal divisions of an octave, which the second allows n divisions of
any interval (eg 19 in a twelfth).  There are also provision for using
them with a table for non-equal divisions

2) For Just Tunings using three numbers, to stand for n/m and the
octave seems a common practice.  Not my field, but there are
csounders who do this.

3) Use of a table directly.  This is what I am doing in my current
piece with is in 88CET tuning.

4) and no doubt many others of which I cannot conceive!
If I knew the Scala format it should not be too hard.....(famous last words!)
