In each series below, each term represents the number of notes in the
simplest equal temperament that improves upon the accuracy of the
previous one. Tunings in parentheses are the second-best for up to that
many notes. I don't go beyond 200TET. Accuracy is defined with respect
to JI in the indicated odd limit; equal temperaments not consistent
within the given limit are excluded.
