CORRECTION: It's An 8-Tone Blues 16EDO Subscale, NOT 12-Tone:

Diagrammed to show the proportional
distance between the pitch classes:

C2.......C1 + 1200 cents

A#1......C1 + 975 cents
A1........C1 + 900 cents
G#1......C1 + 825 cents

F#1.......C1 + 600 cents
F1.........C1 + 525 cents

D#1........C1 + 300 cents

C#1........C1 + 75 cents
C1..........C1 + 0 cents

This "mapping" retains the same
key placement for the 12EDO
tritone (C1-F#1-C2) and the 12EDO
minor 3rd (C1-D#1-F#1-A1-C2).

The D, E, G, and B keys would
be "blank" in this simplest version.

However, I can see where you could
insert a mini Morse-Thue sequence
within the four 16EDO 3-scale-step
"spaces" with the pattern 1-2, 2-1,
2-1, 1-2, and map the remaining 4
12EDO keys to that, and you would
end up with a hybrid 2-tier Morse-Thue
sequence tuning, which I'll try and
diagram and post also.

Thanks for straightening me out, gang! :)
