BTW, here's an interesting scale that's close to many 13 limit ratios I found a while back in 34 eq:

1/1
13/12 +3 (cents)
15/13 0
13/11 -7
16/13 -7
13/10 +4
18/13 +1
13/9 -1
20/13 -4
13/8 +6
22/13 +7
24/13 -3
25/13 -3

Ernie and I did a loose jam on it a few years back, but I'm gonna work with it a bit and see what's in there...looks and sounds interesting, 34 is a hoot...Hstick

Neat scale! Here's a scala file for all you scala users
out there...

!
Scale by Neil Haverstick in 34-tET.
13
!
141.18 !13/12
247.06 !15/13
282.35 !13/11
352.94 !16/13
458.82 !13/10
564.71 !18/13
635.29 !13/9
741.18 !20/13
847.06 !13/8
917.65 !22/13
1058.82 !24/13
1129.41 !25/13
2
!

It looks like, though, in the mode starting on 352.94 there,
we get

1: 105.880 cents
2: 211.770 cents
3: 282.350 cents
4: 388.240 cents
5: 494.120 cents
6: 564.710 cents
7: 705.880 cents
8: 776.470 cents
9: 847.060 cents
10: 988.240 cents
11: 1094.120 cents
12: 1129.410 cents
13: 1200.000 cents

Which looks kinda like:

17/16
9/8
7/6
5/4
4/3
7/5
3/2
14/9
13/8
7/4
15/8
48/25
2/1
