Secors

Just been reading about Secors (connection: the Ztars)

Secor is nearly 7/72ths, and so I looked up this interval. I notice that its close to 3/31. Has anyone used it in this context for say miracle or canasta? I know the tuning goes adrift, but perhaps not too far for the uncultured ear?

the secors available in 31edo and 41edo, 2^(3/31) and
2^(4/41), are considered to be pretty close to the
upper and lower boundaries, respectively, of acceptable
sizes for secors.

thus, 31edo, 41edo, and 72edo may all be used as MIRACLE
tunings.

as far as cardinality goes, since the MIRACLE tuning-system
generated by 21 consecutive secors (whatever their specific
tuning) is "blackjack", we've made that with 31 "canasta",
and that with 41 "studloco".
