For fans of the Stern-Brocot tree and superparticular scale steps I present the following scale, if that's what it really is. It has the same problem using the Farey sequence for a scale has--it isn't exactly regular. Note however that the even numbered steps are more generally consonant with the unison than the odd numbered steps, and the steps which are multiples of 4 have more oomph yet. In any case, I invite music from anyone who cares to try.
