Just for fun, and this is obviously a concultural issue and not
conlang-related: the "official" tuning of the 53-tone scale used by the
(sub)culture, micronation etc. connected with my conlang project is made up
of these intervals:

 1. 1/1 (G)
 2. 81/80
 3. 128/125
 4. 25/24
 5. 135/128 (Ab)
 6. 16/15 (G#)
 7. 27/25
 8. 800/729
 9. 10/9
10. 9/8 (A)
11. 256/225
12. 144/125
13. 75/64
14. 32/27 (Bb)
15. 6/5 (A#)
16. 243/200
17. 100/81
18. 5/4
19. 81/64 (B)
20. 32/25
21. 125/96
22. 320/243
23. 4/3 (C)
24. 27/20
25. 512/375
26. 25/18
27. 45/32 (Db)
28. 64/45 (C#)
29. 36/25
30. 375/256
31. 40/27
32. 3/2 (D)
33. 243/160
34. 192/125
35. 25/16
36. 128/81 (Eb)
37. 8/5 (D#)
38. 81/50
39. 400/243
40. 5/3
41. 27/16 (E)
42. 128/75
43. 125/72
44. 225/128
45. 16/9 (F)
46. 9/5
47. 729/400
48. 50/27
49. 15/8 (Gb)
50. 256/135 (F#)
51. 48/25
52. 125/64
53. 160/81
54. 2/1 (G')

The first and last notes of the scale are the equivalent of Western sol/G =
98/196/392 Hz (since the Arabic scale starts at that note).  53-tone equal
temperament only deviates a maximum of 4.09 cents from the just notes.
