I've been futzing around with the gallery of 12-tone JI scales on the xenwiki, and decided it needed an example of a 2.3.11 subgroup scale. Below is such a scale, with scale step sizes of 12/11, 33/32 and 256/243. For no better reason than that there is a rock band named 311 hailing from Omaha, I called the scale Omaha.

They're a good band, too :) But it looks like you left the scale out though.
