Circle diagram.

A 15-odd-limit Hexany. This creates a scale of 1 15/14 11/10 33/28 33/26 13/10 39/28 3/2 11/7 22/13 165/91 13/7 2/1, with steps of 15/14 75/77 15/14 14/13 169/165 15/14 14/13 22/21 14/13 15/14 169/165 14/13. As half the notes in the base hexany have a 13 in the numerator, this cancels them out for simpler undecimal ones, while also being the right size to ensure that there are never multiple small intervals in quick succession, although a few fifth-tones are still inevitable due to the semiquartal nature of the scale. It maps unambiguously and highly accurately to 3 1 3 3 1 3 3 2 3 3 1 3 steps of 29edo, due to the fact that it cancels out the errors in its 5th-15th harmonics to approximate most of these composite ratios within a few cents.
