Recently I realized that when M and J progression commas are used as factors or dividers and applied to the apropriate common fraction like those shown below, we get good scales directly. For instance if 135/128 is multiplied by the product MMMJ we get C#.

(135/128)*MMMJ = Cents 99.997 1.05946152764 ----C#

---------------(9/8)/J =
