Hi everyone,
I don't mean to be rude, but is this not a little competing with Jascha
Narveson SC class interface with the scala library ?
I get in touch with the scala lib from an ixi tutorial lying at
devel.goto10, and there is here a link to a scales' library with
contains more than 3500 differents historical (or not) scales. By the
way the archive contains at least 14 Partch's scales and two for
43-notes ...
So I guess from what I've seen quickly that your class had some more
methods, but wouldn't if be better if this can be merged into JN class
... just a thought.
For those interested to know about that : the scale zip archive lies
here (bottom of the page) :
<http://www.xs4all.nl/~huygensf/scala/downloads.html>
and Jascha Class interfacing with it lies here :
<http://jnarveson.web.wesleyan.edu/sc/SCL/SCL.zip>
