By this I mean the 7-limit 72&137 temperament, with wedgie
<<6 17 46 13 56 59|| and generator a flat 27/20. This is a rather
undistinguished temperament, but there's a reason for mentioning it:
the tuning is essentially indistinguishable from marvel tuning. TOP
marvo is close to TOP marvel, and the Kees tunings are even closer.
The 152/353 tuning is very close to minimax, whereas the 183/425
tuning is closer to least squares.

While miracle or waage also work as stand-ins for marvel, marvo is
essentially pure marvel. The TM basis is {225/224, 78125000/78121827};
the second comma is tiny and of high complexity, so it doesn't have
much of an effect.
