In every entry for a rank-2 temperament, there should be a table that directly give the tuning and the most obvious JI interpretations of every reasonably simple interval in the temperament (maybe up to 20 generators or 20 notes). We should have a script generate all the tables, taking the temperament's mapping matrix as input.
