Sure, the latest scale I was playing with at home was an expansion
of the 31tet neutral diatonic to what I refer to as a "10.3",
meaning a MOS that divides 10 notes into 3 chunks.

5 4 5 4 5 4 4
1 4 4 1 4 4 1 4 4 4 = sLLsLLsLLL

I actually mapped it to a 12eq keyboard and split a few of the
"4"s, I can't remember which ones exactly, along the lines of

1 4 4 1 4 1 3 1 4 4 1 3

which provided accesibility to all the modes in many keys plus
some interesting non-MOS alterations of the original child scale
like

4 5 5 4 4 5 4 1/1 11/10 11/9 11/8 3/2 18/11 20/11

as well as access to classic diatonic scales which lead to
a sort of "traditional + 11" vibe that seemed to have potential.
(I was playing with the neutral diatonic and listenning to a
CD of Thai music and the 4554454 seemed to better fit the vibe
although it, or my playing, still didn't get there. Oh well, it
went somewhere else).

That's Graham Breed's 7+3 "quartertone" scale -- see
