Circle diagram.

A 15-odd-limit eikosany. This creates a scale of 1 15/14 11/10 9/8 33/28 5/4 9/7 11/8 99/70 3/2 11/7 45/28 33/20 99/56 9/5 11/6 27/14 55/28 2/1, with steps of 15/14 77/75 45/44 22/21 35/33 36/35 77/72 36/35 35/33 22/21 45/44 77/75 15/14 56/55 55/54 81/77 55/54 56/55. (3/2 and 33/28 appear twice, reducing this to an 18 note scale) This has a greater number of steps than its corresponding pentadekany, but the size of the smallest step remains the same, keeping all the steps melodically usable while giving you many harmonic options, with 8 perfect fifths distributed fairly evenly around the scale to build stable chords upon.
