Circle diagram.

A 15-odd-limit dekany. This creates a scale of 1 15/14 33/28 5/4 9/7 3/2 11/7 45/28 11/6 55/28 2/1, with steps of 15/14 11/10 33/35 36/35 7/6 22/21 45/44 154/135 15/14 56/55. With three perfect fifths, each with a decent number of useful thirds, but also quite a few melodically awkward large and tiny steps, this is middle of the road in xenharmonicness, able to do both familiar & alien sounds, making it suitable for intermediate level composers.
