request for help - 26 tuning query

In a musical scale of 26, if the 16th note was a major sixth what would all the other notes be in a just pythagorean scale and in a equal tempered scale?

I used Scala to list all the intervals, frequencies for these. In equal it comes out fairly perfect. The sixteenth note is a perfect 68th apparently in an equal tempered scale.

But I'd really like to know what this scale would look like if it was constructed so that the 16th note was the major 6th......

thanks to anyone in advance for any input and many thanks to all those who have offered such excellent feedback to my other previous inquiries.

You people are simply fabulous.

Best regards

D

This question doesn't seem very clear to me. If by "major sixth" you
mean 5/3, for instance, then that doesn't appear in either a
Pythagorean or a (pure octave) equal temperament context. Moreover,
the sixteenth note is a funny note to try to make into a major sixth
here. You didn't mean major fifth by any chance?

Could you copy and paste your Scala info here?
