Rolling along with these 11-limit 12 note hobbits, I come to the rather peculiar temperament prodigy. What makes it peculiar is that it tempers out 225/224 and 441/400, but good tunings for it shrink 243/242, 1024/1029, 384/385 and 2400/2401 to the same tiny interval, and tempering this out also leads to miracle. But don't discount prodigy, as constructing scales for it, such as this hobbit, leads automatically to a corresponding interesting miracle scale. Below I give a miracleized version, tuned to 72 equal. Now you can do miracle on your good old trusty Halberstadt keyboard!
