multiple descriptive data in Scala

Manuel (or whoever knows the answer),

I drew and saved a Scala lattice file called 5limitcommas.txt,
then, in Scala, used LATTICE /LOAD 5 3 5limitcommas.txt to
have Scala calculate a Scale scale file from it. Then I ran
NORMALIZE to put it in regular 'octave'-reduced format, then
DELETE /39 to remove all pitches higher than 100 cents. The
result was the file below.

I used SET ATTRIBUTE VECTOR to show the 3^x*5^y exponent-values
when the SHOW command is run.

This command showed the exponents but took away the
default values that were originally shown: cents,
and the name of the interval if it has one (which
can also be re-set with the SET ATTRIBUTE CENTS command,
but which then takes away the vector values).

I've tried to figure out how to retain all three
sets of descriptive data at once but can't.
Please help.

And is there a way to save all of this descriptive
data with the file data that I have below?

When I run SHOW it shows the descriptive data on the computer
screen, but that extra data is not saved with the SAVE command.
(I tried SAVE /KEEP_TEXT but that didn't work.)

Joe, you can use SHOW/CENTS to show the cents and harmonic vector
at the same time. Because the vector can take a long horizontal
space, I have omitted the name in combination with this attribute.
So, only two out of the three can be seen at the same time alas.
I can make this a little friendlier in the next version.

Yes, you can do
FILE mycommas.txt
SHOW
CLOSE

The next Scala version will have a new command that makes calculating
commas this way more convenient: APPROXIMATE/INSERT.

> all intervals under 100 cents in 3^(-15...15)*5^(-7...7) system
...
> 78125/73728

This one is not under 100 cents.

Oops... my bad. I suppose I should have said
'all intervals ~100 cents and under'.
