My preferred tuning of this scale utilizes the 25/16 for the augmented fifth, with this augmented fifth being the only note that distinguishes this scale from my preferred tuning of Lydian. Do note that for the Diatonic-derived apposite name, I've coined a prefix "auxo-" from Ancient Greek [[Wiktionary: αὔξω #Ancient Greek|''aúxō'']] (to make grow or increase) and tacked it onto Lydian to make the name Auxolydian, and it is from this that I've decided derive the names of the other modes of this scale.
