A fairly good approximate version of the scale:
round the cycle
(0) (-4) 698 (-5) 195 (-5) 892 (-5) 389 (-4) 1087 (-5) 584 (0) 86 (+3)
791 (+3) 296 (+3) 1001 (0) 503 (-5)
lined up:
86
195
296
389
503
584
698
791
892
1001
1087
1200
has 1- or 2-cent approximations to 7/5, 13/11, 14/11, 19/15, 19/16 -
two of each.
C-F# is mapped from 7/5 and 13/11 . 19/16 giving a comma 1235/1232 to
be divided into three somehow.
F-Bb is reached via F-Ab-C-F#-Bb, thus (approximations to) 13/11 .
19/15 . 7/5 . 14/11, which is 4/3 times 12103/12100 - schismatic
enough to map to 1/1.
Now I reckon some Bach organ works could be interesting...

That's when using:

more-or-less about:
21/20 (~ 84.467...)
19/17 (~192.557...)
19/16 (~297.513...)
5/4 (~386.313...)

217/145 (~697.970...)
30/19 (~790.755...)
43/72 (~892.392...)
41/23 (~1000.788...)
15/8 (~1088.268...)
when allowing an imprecision ~3 Cents
as deviation from accuracy.

- You missed 7/5 (~582.51) = 21/20 * 4/3 !

Dear Tom,
For Bach i tune modern organs in absolute "septenarian" pitches as:
G2: (7*7=49 98 <) 99 198 396 := 440HZ*(9/10) an minor-tone below 440Hz
~ ~ -5.839...
D4: (49*3=147 294 < 295 <) 296 (< 297 := 99*3)
~ ~ -5.857...
A5: (49*9=441 882<)885=2*442.5 Metronome @150 beats/min vs. 440-fork
~ ~ -5.879...
E6: 1323 := 49*27 2646 [> 2645 := 5*C5]
~ ~ -3.056...
B6: [G2*5=495 990 1980 <] 1981 3962 = 7*566 (< 567*7 = 3969 := 49*81)
~ ~ -0.874...
F#6: 1485 := G2*15 with F#-G as an just 16:15 ~111.731... semitone
~ ~ +0.388...
C#5: 557 1114 2228 4456 (> 4455)
~ ~ +1.035...
G#3: 209 418 836 1672 (> 1671)
~ ~ +2.759...
D#3: 157 314 628 (< 627)
~ ~ +1.837...
A#5: (471 942 <) 943
~ ~ +0.612...
F6: [A5/5 =: 177 354 708 1416 >] 1415 2830 (< 2829)

That tuning enables for the major 3rds C-E, G-B & F-A
E7/(5*C5) = 2646/2645 ~+0.654...c "sharp" above 5/4
B6/(5*G4) = 1981/1980 ~+0.874...c "sharp" above 5/4
(A8/5)/F6 = 1416/1415 ~+1.223...c "sharp" above 5/4
the pleasant sounding "pulling-effect"
as still preserved in some old meantone organs
http://www.arpschnitger.nl/snoordb.html
http://www.arpschnitger.nl/sgro02.html
"The âpulling effectâ in the tuning can be heard very clearly in the
long chords and is produced by the mutual influence of the pipes which
are arranged in thirds on the windchest."
...as already historically described and desired by
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arnolt_Schlick
and specified by Werckmeister as less than about ~ 0.1 %
for the 5th partial 5/4.
1001/1000 = 1.001 ~+-1.730...cents
hence the above tuning remains staying well within that range
at least for the three most basic 3rds: C-E, G-B & F-A.
Attend that
http://arxiv.org/abs/physics/0506094
http://www.sea-acustica.es/WEB_ICA_07/fchrs/papers/nla-04-002.pdf
consider barely the fundamental 1/1
without discussing the higher partials of the overtone series as

For my well-tempered version
-without the wide 5ths-
attend a few changes that replaces some of the pitches:

That well-tuning has for the
major 3rds C-E, G-B & F-A the sharpnesses
E7/(5*C5) = 2646/2645 ~+0.654...c "sharp" above 5/4
B4/(5*B0) = 496/495 ~+3.494...c "sharp" above 5/4
(A6/5)/F4 = 354/353 ~+4.897...c "sharp" above 5/4
but none wide 5ths as the organ counterpart.
