Meantone rhythms

Meantone rhythms. Interesting idea.

If you are going to go further with it, maybe you could also use
proportions of the Large and small interval sizes of the particular
meantone tuning you chose to map the common combinations.
If you wanted to get more sophisticated you could also use the more
dissonant intervals.
and convert the values to midi ticks to get the exact timing, plus
experiment with various matching tempos.
