The first scale uses a chain of fifths with sizes M-M-S-S-L-S-S (S = smaller fifth, L = larger fifth, M = near-just fifth)
The second scale uses a chain of fifths M-M-M-M-S-S-S.
The third scale is symmetric and uses a chain M-S-S-L-S-S-M.

2) A cross set (1...15)x(1...15)
3) An Euler-Fokker genus 3⁴x5²x7²
