No idea why it adds the suffix, in such a situation I'd try and pass just the basename of the scl file like this:

startBristol -b3 -scala ji_12

Thank you for the response, Edgar. Unfortunately, it didn't work. Oh, and I pointed to the file, again, and it's no longer adding the suffix.

I've attached the output from bristol. It looks as though the program is doing everything it should. It recognises all the relevant information and even calls the scala by its correct name. All I hear is ET.

Thank you, again, Edgar.
