Bossier scales

The Bossier temperament is generated by a sharply tuned neogothic major third 14/11, such that two of them stack to 13/8, and the comma 15488/15379 is tempered out, which doesn't appear to have any intuitive interpretation in terms of stacking intervals. When its generator is used to build a MOS scale, the scales generated are checkertonic, 3L 8s, and 3L 11s.
