 Twelve-Tone Musical Scale
The Equal Temperament Scales Spreadsheet (MS Excel) shows all the ET scales from 2 to 53 tones, and allows you to see how well they match the "ideal" intervals of your choice.
The modern equal temperament system was invented (in the 1500s) to solve this problem.
The pure intervals smaller than or equal to an octave that are commonly considered to be consonant are:

 LucyTuning, meantone, equal temperament
In 12-note equal temperament, where every fifth is narrow by 1/12 of a ditonic comma, the large interval ("whole step") is exactly the size of two small intervals ("half step").
This is a brief comparison among three varieties of meantone temperament: "LucyTuning," 1/4 syntonic comma meantone, and 12-note equal temperament.

Note for note, there is not much difference between Thomas Young's temperament and equal temperament (at most 9% of a semitone).
It is interesting that the 53-note equal-tempered scale has the lowest number of notes with coefficient 1, and more notes than 2, since the 5-note and 12-note equal-tempered scales both have coefficent 2.
Note that an edge can be seen as a 2-sided polygon, just as a triangle is a 3-sided polygon, so you could say that a tetrahedron has 10 = 4 + 6 "faces".

 The Bohlen-Pierce Site: 271 Tone BP Scale
The special status of mini-intervals in the order of 7 cents becomes obvious, and an equal temperament scale of 271 steps of 7.018 cents each is indeed a most exact approximation of all tones (enharmonics included) of the just BP scale, as shown above.
In just intonation, these steps are not equal, and a and b definitely are members of this group.
He lists two groups of scales with 43, 56, 69, 82 (the "n x 13 + 4" group) and 75, 88, 101 steps (the "n x 13 + 10" Group) respectively, favoring the 101-step version because it does for BP in terms of approximation accuracy what 53-step ET does for the traditional JI Western scale.
