Song played with two lyres, an orchestra and a wineglass

Here's the first draft and demo of a song using the Shlesinger Saturn-Scale. I retuned the instrument and processed an orchestra in Kontakt 2. Poorly mixed, but again; it deliveres an idea.
The scale itself is one of my favorites and very musical. If anyone is interested in experimenting with Shlesinger scales, i have them in Scala, Kontakt, Absynth, Pro-53 and Max Magic Microtuner format.
As usual, I'd enjoy your feedback.

Greetings,
Raed

I'd like to see some in Scala format, with a description if you have one. The main tuning list would be a good place for such a discussion unless Jon doesn't mind it here.

I just uploaded all seven Shlesinger scales and a .doc sent to me by Hans Straub. When you use these scales it works pretty nicely if you retune it to c= 256. For the sake of simplicity and to make it possible to play these scales on synths and Kontakt, i tuned all twelve keys on the keyboard. It is up to you if you want to stick to the seven or eight notes suggested, or if you choose whatever fits best.

Greetings,
Raed

PS: Where is the main tuning table on this site?

Thank you very much! I know his site but haven't stumbled on this info yet. There were new things in there that caught my attention. Darn! Another sleepless night. . .

/tuning/messages

This is sometimes called the "main list" for historical reasons.
