Below I give TOP tuned versions of these scales with 245/243 tempered
out. Whether or not having a 9/7 six cents sharp makes up for now
having a few major and minor triads in the mix is a question anyone
wanting to use these scales needs to answer for themselves. Aaron.scl
and akj.scl now have two major and two minor triads. Aaron in addition
also now has one each of a major, minor, supermajor and subminor tetrad.

As with aaron.scl, akj.scl can also advantageously be tempered with
certain linear temperaments; octacot again being in practice much like
245/243-planar, but another possibility is magic. Tempered by magic,
akj.scl becomes -10,-5,-3,-2,0,2,3,5,7,8,10,15 which is something to
keep in mind by the people who are looking for smaller sized scales
tempered by magic. Octacot reduces akj.scl to
-16,-13,-8,-5,0,3,5,8,13,16,21,24.
