Hi folks
Back in the end of my masters, I did make something that allows you to load scales from the Scala software into Pd, which has a database of over 4000 scales.
Check the software and data bank here http://www.huygens-fokker.org/scala/
It's an extremely powerful tool for microtonality, but you may not care for that and just want to use the scale data bank in Pd.
Anyway, I have a way that exports the from the Scala software into a text file that opens in this specific subpatch of mine.
But I was trying to do something easier, and that is just load these *.scl files into [textfile] or [msgfile] for example, and extracting the list of these scale intervals in cents.
Here's what one of these files look like
==============
! 08-11.scl ! 8 out of 11-tET 8 ! 218.18182 327.27273 436.36364 654.54545 763.63636 872.72727 1090.90909 2/1
===============
So I assumed it'd be easy to extract each cents value and make a list out of it, but I was wrong. Don't know why but it doesn't load this in separate lines, maybe because it is not a *.txt file at all.
And anyway, I'm getting in Pd just a list, so the above file, for example, file becomes
list ! 08-11.scl ! 8 out of 11-tET 8 ! 218.182 327.273 436.364 654.545 763.636 872.727 1090.91 2/1
I seem to have found a messy way to get the list out of it, but maybe you people know of something really simple and elegant with some extended objects.
Thanks Alex
HI Alex --
Have you tried sending textfile an "open [my-filename] cr" message? The "cr" flag asks to interpret newlines as end-of-list.

yeah, it works :)
I knew there had to be an easier way other than the mess I did.
Perfect, Thanks
This is a very cool addon feature to my stuff I'm showing at PdCon, see you all there.
See you all there soon!

My [tunetof] abstraction from 2006 uses a python script to convert Scala files to a format, Pd can easily import to a [table] See http://lists.puredata.info/pipermail/pd-list/2006-04/037184.html ff. It's in the Pd repository at /abstractions/footils/tunetof
Maybe you can make use of the Python parser?
