Should anyone be interested, here's a possible 20-tet out of 72-tet
notation which takes 1/4th of an octave as the period--interestingly
enough, that's the miracle generator where 7/72 is commensurate with
3/20:

3 2 5 7
--, --, --, --, ...
8 5 13 18

C Db< Db^ Dv D>
Eb E< E^ Fv F>
(F#,Gb) G< G^ Abv Ab>
A Bb< Bb^ Bv B>

take care,

That should've read--"interestingly enough, that's the miracle
generator where 7/72 is commensurate with 2/20"
