Whilst experimenting with some just ratios, I have come up with the following 12-tone chromatic scale. It has both pythagorean and meantone flavors:

0: 1/1 0.000 unison, perfect prime
1: 16/15 111.731 minor diatonic semitone
2: 9/8 203.910 major whole tone
3: 31/26 304.508
4: 14/11 417.508 undecimal diminished fourth or major third
5: 4/3 498.045 perfect fourth
6: 10/7 617.488 Euler's tritone
7: 3/2 701.955 perfect fifth
8: 8/5 813.686 minor sixth
9: 56/33 915.553
10: 16/9 996.090 Pythagorean minor seventh
11: 21/11 1119.463
12: 2/1 1200.000 octave
