I just had a crazy idea for your next musical mad science experiment (and it potentially includes 50edo):  See if it is possible to retune some of the quarter-tone ([[24edo]], "diatonicized chromatic")11L 2s (L/s = 2) scale works of Ivan Wyschnegradsky into other tuning systems that support 11L 2s and have a good approximation and single circle of 11/8 (or 16/11).  Plausible candidate tuning systems on the soft side are [[37edo]] (L/s = 3/2, and has a super-good 11/8), [[61edo]] (L/s = 5/3, but 61edo is big enough to be pushing the limits of plausibility), and 50edo (L/s = 4/3 -- might be too soft).  Plausible candidate tuning systems on the hard side are [[35edo]] (L/s = 3), [[59edo]] (L/s = 7/3, but 59edo is big enough to be pushing the limits of plausibility), and [[46edo]] (L/s = 4/1 -- might be too hard).

Most of Ivan Wyschnegradsky's quarter-tone pieces are for 2 pianos tuned a quarter tone apart (in a few cases with other instruments); he did have a couple of quarter-tone pianos and even a quarter-tone harmonium built, but was not very satisfied with them (based on quarter-tone piano photos and video footage, I am going to hazard a guess that this was for ergonomic reasons); I think that with the way he wrote this music, it really does need the resonance and timbre of pianos.
