Traversing Marvel

Here is a new piece of music: 53edo scale 10

This piece is in a ten note per octave scale in the 53edo tuning system. I designed this scale to support traversing the marvel comma, 225:224. This scale allows using conventional note names because it doesn't distinguish any commas that conventional 12edo tempers out. It would be straightforward to extend this scale to the full twelve notes of a conventional scale: D and A would fit naturally into this structure. My goal here was more about traversing the marvel comma; matching a conventional scale was not on my mind.
