I am currently writing a piece for two pianos in which one piano is tuned a quarter tone lower than average, while the other is tuned normally. Is there a setting I could use which automatically makes every not for one instrument sound a quarter tone lower on playback without actually having to write quarter tone signs next to all of the notes?

And if there is not a way to do that, is there a way where I could even hear something I've written a quarter tone lower one time? I can't just put 1/4 flat signs in front of everything, because that would change my notes which already have accidentals into something that wouldn't be their equivalent 1/4 tone lower. (For example, an F# would become a note a quarter tone lower than F, rather than a quarter tone lower than F#).

Thanks!
