41edo admits an [[archaeotonic]] scale with L = 6\41 (also the generator) and s = 5\41; this is also the closest that 41edo gets to 7edo. This scale isn't really awkward to play, though it slides up to the next rainbow zone. Scales approximating harder archaeotonic scales are possible, with the small step being 2, 3 or 4 arrows and the large step 6, 7 or 8 arrows. An example is 6 7 6 6 7 6 3, which doesn't slide up the fretboard.
