Facility to use microtonal scales via Scala #11

Closed gogins closed 1 year ago

gogins commented 1 year ago

The immediate and obvious use for this facility is for super-drone type pieces.

I'm not sure what-all belongs in this enhancement, or where it goes (Csound UDOs, CsoundAC C++ code, JavaScript code). Possibilities:

As with maqam, with microtonal scales there should be some sort of "modulation," which will generate large scale changes of feeling and structure. How to identify and code these possibilities?

Strudel actually has already a pretty good facility for using alternative tuning systems, the tune pattern. For now I will use this, I may adapt it for modulation.
