this is interesting, and does map to the meantone
that Paul is using to for the scale. But I think
the original scale is most likely more of a
tetrachordal basis (I should know by now but...
diatonic?)

12:11 11:10 9:8
1/1 12/11 6/5 4/3

which is then repeated at the fifth.

In 31 the mapping to 0 4 8 13 18 22 26 corresponds to

C Cx Eb F G Gx Bb

In 19 (and I presume LucyTuning) the best mapping is
probably 2333233 which is indeed what you proposed.

So everyones right! And in 34 it's 4556455, which loses
a bunch of fifths, too bad...
