This scale analyses as this chain of fifths:

Gb Db Ab Eb Bb F C G D A E

i.e 10 steps

Notes Db, Eb, G, D, and A respectively in positions 2,4,8,9, and 10 are missing therefore is:

10/248910/

Tonic is C in position 7.

Therefore complete scalecoding is:

10/248910/7

for which I have yet to come across a name.

see this page for some of the names that I have encountered.

If you want to hear them, they will also play pitchbent midi files, if you click in the right positions.

I am very pleased to see that the tuning group is (at llllllooooooooonnnnngggg last) taking an interest in scales.
