Another way to generalize the Halberstadt layout is to use a different [[MOS scale]] to determine the layout of white and black keys. [[Stephen Weigel]] has used such layouts in several of his YouTube videos, including [[hanson]] ([[4L 3s]]) and [[porcupine]] ([[7L 1s]]) layout for [[15edo]], [[mavila]] ([[7L 2s]]) layout for [[16edo]], etc.
