To adapt the file e53smufl.ly, change 53 to your ET of choice. Then the 
corresponding EqualFiftythreePitchNames should have as denominator 2 times the 
value of the sharp in the ET. In E53, the minor second m = 4, and the major 
second M = 9, so its sharp ♯ = M - m = 5. So this gives the denominator is 2⋅5 
= 10. The factor 6 comes from that LilyPond counts 6 M per octave, and 1/2 is 
the value of a sharp.
