Since the detempered chain of 16 fifths seemed interesting, I'm giving
a kleismically detempered chain of 18 6/5's. It would, of course, be
useless for maqams, but it has a lot of 5-limit harmony, and even some
good approximations to the 7-limit. To make up for the 13 pure fifths,
it has six flat things.
