Hello, everyone, and while I'm getting ready to unleash my long table
of interval categories sizes for a 17-note neo-Gothic well-temperament
introduced in a recent article, why don't I in the meantime share this
Scala file which may likelier be free from "bugs."

Thanks to Manuel op de Coul for a really impressive application which
happily can run in MS-DOS, maybe by now a "medieval" operating system.

! neogw17a.scl

I note now that Margo Schulter is creating Scala files of her tuning 
achievements...  I believe that Ms. Schulter is still running MS 
DOS (??)... but it would be possible, if she were to send the files
to one of us as an attachment, for one of us who has Web access to 
post the Scala files in the "files" section of egroups, correct?

That way we could either tune a sequencer with them or, even more 
easily, play them with "Fractal Tune Smithy"...

???

Good, bad, indifferent idea...

Of course, we COULD reinput the cents value into Scala, but that
would be more "roundabout", no (??)

Hi Joe.

Scala files are simply plain old text files.  So all you have to
do is highlight the section of Margo's post that has the Scala
file, copy it, and paste it into Notepad or any other text editor,
and be sure to save it with the .scl extension.  Then Scala can
read it directly.  No extra typing necessary.

I believe that a big part of the reason Manuel made Scala like
that is so that we can post Scala files to the List, and others
can simply copy them and use them.
