I have improved on it, and made it a 19-tone scale, with a 17-tone cycle of
fifths:

1/1
21/20
13/12
9/8
13/11
17/14 *
21/17
19/15 **
4/3
7/5
13/9
3/2
11/7
18/11
33/20 ***
27/16
39/22
13/7 ****
21/11 **
2/1

* Added for a lower perde segah (outside the cycle of fifths)

** Calibrated perdes buselik and mahur

*** 28/17 was simply too low for perde hisar (outside the cycle of fifths)

**** Perde evdj was too low, corrected it.
