series within a generalized periodicity

I've just started working on a new piece that uses a group of scales,
or series, that are derived from a method I don't believe I've
encountered before.

The idea is simply to generalize the "P" in (LOG(N)-LOG(D))*(P/LOG(2))
so that alternate -- or "generalized" -- over and under series can be
derived within a given P (i.e., a given non 1:2 periodicity).

As an example of this, here's two of the "scales" that figure
prominently in the piece I'm currently working on:

0 270 511 729 928 1111 1281 1439 1586

0 199 382 552 710 858 996 1127 1251 1368 1480 1586

These eight and eleven note "scales" are actually just an 8 - 16 and
11 - 22 over series where P = 2:5.

The possibilities are endless, extremely xenharmonic, and so far as
I've gone into them, interesting as well.

I'm having trouble reproducing your results using the formula above.
Could you check the formula you're using?
