Let's see how this one might work. We can change the mapping given above to the 
equivalent

[12 3]
[19 5]
[28 5]
[34 4]

The generators for this are well approximated by 14/171 and 1/171, and we can 
use this as a keyboard system for the 171-et, with the 12-note keyboards tuned 
to semitones of size 14/171 ocatves, and the keyboards separated by 1/171. This 
non-ocatave tuning (12*(14/171) = 168/171, a comma less than the octave) can be 
modified to one which tunes each rank of 12-note keyboards slightly unevenly, 
to the 14/171 MOS, namely [14 14 14 15] repeated three times. Of course this 
gives four different patterns for chords, but you pays your money and you makes 
your choice.
