Thanks Pedro, that's quite useful.

I'm using the playnote function from your script. I see you make a
translation of note names to other ascii chars using tr (before you call
playnote), and it's this latter "scale" string I'm interested in, as
my script does not need to deal with note names at this stage.

I've used an expansion of the string "<>@ACEGHJLMOQS" to
"<>@ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz" which does
give me a wider range of notes, but is very middly, there's no bass
notes nor anything from the high octaves.

How might I get the bass and high end?

Thanks,
James.
