While adding any more meantone tunings to the list of Pythagorean
notated tunings is hardly important, I think 53 should be added to the
list. It would be a convenience for medieval music or anything which
for any reason someone wanted to tune to Pythagorean tuning, which 53
comes very close to.

I agree. I always wondered there was a 41-Pyth but not a 53-Pyth. (They should add a 29-Pyth as well.)
