a great one. if you'd like to free yourself from the equal-
temperament shackles, you could try e.g. graham's optimal versions of
this generator:

271.3¢ (for 7-limit harmony)
271.6¢ (for 9-limit harmony)
271.4¢ (for 11-limit harmony)

gene calls this set of generators and their associated temperaments
and mos scales 'orwell' because the optimal generator is very close
to 19/84 octave.

I even wrote a piece in it, using 53-et shackles and a generator
of 271.7¢.
