The Scala header says it comes from continued fraction approximation
of 11edo, but apparently a math mistake got made. I'd think it would
make more sense to just use some 11-note JI scale. Here's what I think
is a good example of that:

! cxi2.scl
Second 11/5 <11 17 26 31| permutation epimorphic scale
11
!
15/14
7/6
6/5
5/4
7/5
3/2
8/5
12/7
7/4
15/8

Here's another good 11-note scale choice, this time not JI:

! keemun11.scl
Keemun[11] = Hanson[11] = Kleismic[11] in 53-et tuning
11
