One approach that interests me is to map an octave-repeating 12-tone JI scale to a keyboard. Of course, there are an infinite number of possible 12-tone JI scales. This page is my attempt to collect some. Please feel free to add more or make corrections as you discover them or invent them!&lt;br /&gt;
