Elf[87], a strictly proper MOS

"Elf" because the generator is 11, which is "elf" in German and
Dutch. It is the 224&311 temperament, so high precision and high
prime limit rule the day. Here is a strictly proper MOS in the 311
tuning, which Ozan might want to look at as a maqam scale. It's
possible the flat fifth, which is 691 cents, will be too flat for
him, but the sharp fifth of 706 cents should do.

691 is an impossibly low fifth, and thus, dysfunctional for the formation of
maqamat.
