It all depends how you get there...

How many and  what combination of pure intervals from what starting 
point?  C-523.5 could be "untempered" if you start with a C-523.5 fork.

Are you talking Pythagorean?

If you are building a sequence you've got to establish a start freq., and 
do the math. I'll send you something privately... ;-}
