Yes, with a two-octave tuning table, like this:

(
s.waitForBoot({
        a = Scale.new([0,3,5,8,13,16,19], (0..23));

        p = { |scale|
                Pbind(
                        \note, PdegreeToKey(
                                Pseq([0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0, \rest], inf),
                                scale,
                                24
                        ),
                        \dur, 1.0
                ).play;
        };

        q = p.value(a);
})
)

Note that using the \degree key to Pbind doesn't do the right thing,
because it assumes one-octave scales. That's equally true whether you use
an array or my class.
