This is a tuning I've never seen before, but please correct me if you
have....I'm calling it "dimension" for the meantime.

Here is the tuning:

Just:Actual(in cents)
#1 1 : 1
#2 9/8 : 196.1984
#3 6/5: 315.64128
#4 11/9 : 347.4048
#5 5/4: 386.3137 (extra unused tone/"mystery tone")
#6 4/3: 504.09373
#7 3/2: 701.955
#8 5/3: 891.959
#9 9/5: 1009.88476
#10 11/6: 1046.212378
2/1 (PERIOD)

Known modes

1,2,3,6,7,8,9 (1/4 comma mean-tone diatonic approximation, has two
"semitones")

1.2.4,6,7,8,10 (7TET-like spaced scale with mostly non-extended JI diatonic
intervals but also 7 or so very sharp 11-limit quasi-JI intervals giving it a
somewhat Arabic feel)

1,2,4,6,7,8,9 (Mix of properties from the above modes. Has one "semi-tone"
with almost completely non-extended JI diatonic intervals but a few 11-limit
ones due to the 11/9)

Now time for your input...
What do you think of the existing modes and what other good modes to you
think can be made (especially) using the 5/4?
