Re: Michael Sheiman's scale

I wonder whether 291.513 cents is a misprint for 19/16, 297.513 cents as this interval fits the partial harmonic series much better than any of the approximations to 291.513+ cents do.

You are right John, it should be 297.513!!
   Here are all the ratios of the 14 note tuning in decimal format (convert-able to fractions).
  But please note, scales should be 9-notes long IE
1
1.125
1.1875*
1.3125
1.375
1.5
1.5625
1.75
1.833333
  IS a 9-note scale within my 14 note tuning.

The complete tuning is
a 1
b 1.05555555...
