1-5-13-17 hexany

A 17-odd-limit Hexany. This creates a scale of 1 17/16 13/10 221/160 13/8 17/10 2/1, with steps of 17/16 104/85 17/16 20/17 68/65 20/17. With a pattern of alternating large and small steps, but no diatonic fifths at all, this is a particularly xenharmonic variant of an augmented scale that is quite melodically effective but lacks familiar chords to create stability with and is quite challenging to expand out to a good bihexany.
