This is a great learning experience. Both SB and AM thank you so much!!!!
 
Worked on page 90 of Slonimsky's book to further discover what can be done with make-scale and came up with the following:
 
;; Slonimsky 648
(make-scale 'c4  14 :alt '(13 -11) :type :pal)
 
;; Slonimsky 649
(make-scale 'c4  14 :alt '(13 13 -11 -11) :type :pal)
 
;; Slonimsky 650
(make-scale 'c4  13 :alt '(13 13 13 -11 -11 -11) :type :pal)
 
;; Slonimsky 651
(make-scale 'c4  13 :alt '(1 13 -11) :type :pal)
 
;; Slonimsky 652
(make-scale 'c4  13 :alt '(13 -11 1) :type :pal)
 
;; Slonimsky 653
(make-scale 'c4  13 :alt '(13 1 -11) :type :pal)
 
;; Slonimsky 654
(make-scale 'c4  13 :alt '(1 1 13 1 1 -11) :type :pal)
 
;; Slonimsky 655
(make-scale 'c2  13 :alt '(11 -1 11 -1) :type :pal)
 
;; Slonimsky 656 - has mismatch with original -> to be checked why
(make-scale 'c2  14 :alt '(11 11 -13 11) :type :pal)
 
;; Slonimsky 657 - has mismatch with original -> to be checked why
(make-scale 'c2  14 :alt '(11 11 11 11 -13 -13 -13) :type :pal)
 
It makes my day :-)

Here are all Sibelius Sound Sets for Opusmodus.
 
I've only been testing with the Dimension Strings sound sets. So none of the other files I've been able to test so far. Would be great to get feedback if these sound sets need further improvement.
 
Have fun :-)
 
VslSibeliusWoodwindsAndBrassSoundSet.opmo
VslSibeliusStringsSoundSet.opmo
VslSibeliusSpecialEditionSoundSet.opmo
VslSibeliusSpecialEditionPlusSoundSet.opmo
VslSibeliusPercussionSoundSet.opmo
VslSibeliusEpicOrchestraSoundSet.opmo
VslSibeliusChoirSoundSet.opmo

I've started to develop a converter that converts Sibelius SoundSet files (xml) to Opusmodus SoundSet format. It's very preliminary yet but attached you'll find the result of using the Sibelius Special Edition Sound Set as well as the Sibelius Strings Sound Set as test input. Looks promising I think. 
 
The Controllers group is missing but I'll be able to implement that part soon. Need a better understanding of what it's supposed to do and will start testing the output so far.
 
VSL has created Sibelius specific presets for Vienna Instruments which are meant to be used in conjunction with the Sibelius Sound Set. The converter I wrote converts these Sibelius Sound Set XML files into Opusmodus sound files that will work with those same Sibelius presets for Vienna Instruments. They won't work with the standard VSL presets but as far from what I understand now those Sibelius specific Sound Set formats & presets are very useful for Opusmodus too. 
 
You don't have to have Sibelius in order to use these Opusmodus sound sets. I just use the word Sibelius to make clear that the Vienna Instruments Sibelius presets shall be used.
 
Any suggestions are more than welcome.
 
(see post below for the latest version of the sound sets.)
 
 

First version of code generator is ready. See my seperate post.

This will be quite helpful.  Last week Jay Spears from Avid was visiting me at my university and informed me of many exciting new developments with Sibelius that are planned.  Thus, keeping the focus on Sibelius for extending Opusmodus work is probably a great idea.  I will look forward to exploring these tools.  Thank you for providing them!

I can imagine a code generator to generate this for all VSL libraries. Anyone interested?

This is a great learning experience. Both SB and AM thank you so much!!!!
