herman miller has used (and discussed with dave keenan) the meantone
temperament where the octaves are 1/7-comma wide and the fifths are
1/7-comma narrow. this works really well because the major
seventeenth is 3/7-comma wide, therefore the major third is only 1/7-
comma wide.

Hmmm...Anyone have Scala ".scl" files for this tuning? Sounds interesting.
