Intro/Nested Ptolemy 7-Tone Subscale/11-Tone Superscale?

Hi, everybody! :)

I'm a 54-year-old Scottish/Welsh guy currently living in Indio, CA, USA, and have finally gotten fed up with the 12TET tuning system.

I have most recently been exploring the "nesting" of asymmetrical 12TET scales (superimposing the prime and inversion forms of those scales while retaining the two outermost pitch classes constant), and decided to try out the same technique with the Ptolemy 7-tone just intonation scale (9/8-10/9-16/15-9/8-10/9-9/8-16/15) this morning on paper.

That resulted in an 11-tone symmetrical superscale that I'm anxious to try out, and I was wondering if anybody had heard of this particular scale being mentioned anywhere else before.

I also need advice on alternate tuning freeware and/or shareware for Windows 98 using a SoundBlaster 16PCI sound card.

Thanks for your time and attention, and for creating and maintaining this list! :)
