Good MOS for a particular JI subgroup

Hi! Is there a clever way to find MOS scales which represent, say 2.7.11 or 2.3.7 JI subgroups better than EDOs with comparable number of steps? Simple calculations or workflows for Scala are all good.

Also in that vein, maybe you know some shiny MOS which greatly differs from EDOs smaller than ~20edo? (and with not too many steps?..) I experimented with several modes (MOS and otherwise) of 22edo, 19edo, 17edo and several other EDOs but hopefully there is a nice MOS somewhere which doesn’t want to fit as an EDO mode without making the original intervals greatly worse. --Arseniiv (talk) 11:10, 7 October 2020 (UTC)

Ah, I see Subgroup temperaments in particular. That article would be helpful, thank you all for making it! --Arseniiv (talk) 15:25, 12 October 2020 (UTC)
