I haven't been able to devote any time to exploring microtonal music due to my involvement with our band but I still try to follow the microtonal music-making world. Here is a free sequencer for making music with just intonation.
In the author's own words (posted to the Yahoo MakeMicroMusic group):
I wrote a program that sequences JI, with a common set of intervals
that follow the mouse; if you hit T while one of these intervals is
up, that interval becomes 1/1 and the other notes change to show their
relationship to it. So it is possible to sequence a melody or
modulate or borrow chords from other tonalities without doing
multiplication.
The program runs in the Pure Data programming environment. The
simplest way to set it up is to download pd-extended from

My sequencer program:

You have to start Pure Data (PD-extended) and make sure your audio is
set up, then open "JI.pd" from my folder. Some instructions are
below. I used this program to write the JI sonata at
