Sorry there was a word mangling,

> with an octave and an inner lower fifth and a inner outer fifth.

should be corrected to:
 with an octave and an inner lower fifth and a inner upper fifth.

By the way, after setting up the temperament this way, i proceed with those 
octaves and the inner fifths intervals the treble up and the bass down.
I do not check over a Pure twelfth, this will lead to a different curve due 
to inharmonicity. There is a difference in the method and the result.

regards,

Bernhard
