I've been attempting to edit the Tuning tool to also enable it to read Scala Files (http://www.xs4all.nl/~huygensf/scala/) but I am unable to to overide the txt file type. The tuning files have the .scl extension, but are in fact ascii text files.

Is there there a way of doing this within Capytalk without converting the original file to a .txt file?

Thanks, Andrew

Since you are editing the Tool, you have probably already seen where it says HostDriverInterface textFileType. You should be able to change this to anyFileType.

I tried editing the tuning tool some more but I have no idea how to go about parsing and tokenising the .scl scale files within Smalltalk/Capytalk.

Instead using unix commands sed & awk, I wrote a shell script (sclParser.sh) which converts the scl files into Kyma readable files within the EqualTemperament part of the Tuning tool.

Unpack the archives and load respectively as SCALENAME.scl.parsed.txt
(the attached zip archive contains the complete scale files archive (http://www.xs4all.nl/~huygensf/doc/scales.zip) in the converted format)

The file "0000 File Parsing" illustrates how you can parse other scl files using the script on a unix command line.

I've not tried out every scale (3000+) ! but if you find any problems let me know
