Circle diagram.

A 15-odd-limit eikosany. This creates a scale of 1 33/32 35/32 11/10 7/6 77/64 5/4 77/60 21/16 11/8 7/5 3/2 77/48 55/32 7/4 11/6 15/8 77/40 2/1, with steps of 1 33/32 35/32 11/10 7/6 77/64 5/4 77/60 21/16 11/8 7/5 3/2 77/48 55/32 7/4 11/6 15/8 77/40 2/1. (7/4 and 11/8 appear twice, reducing this to an 18 note scale.) While mildly reduced in options, the ones that remain are quite decent for its size, with 8 perfect fifths and two marvellous ones, and only one 10 cent step that blurs into its neighbour. In addition, at 18 notes, this is easier to keep track of than most large scales when mapped a regular keyboard because the notes are on the same key every other octave, although your range will still be somewhat compressed.
