I'll send you code for E53, which is a better choice (below), for use with the 
SMuFL Bravura font and Helmoltz-Ellis notation, but you can change the ET if 
you so like.

E53 is very close to the Pythagorean tuning, but also to Just Intonation and 
the 7th partial, by lowering 1 or 2 commas (tonesteps).

If one wants to get close to E12, one can use E72 instead: It adjusts the 
diatonic scale from Pythagorean to E12, but the microtonal neutral seconds 
change only a few cents.

Graham Breed's file regular.ly is only needed for ETs that are not multiples of 
12.
