View source for Werntz Nocturne scale

The '''Werntz Nocturne scale''', created by [[Julia Werntz]], consists of [[9edo]] with three notes inserted from [[12edo]] to use as "embellishing notes", thereby making use of all twelve keys in each octave of a piano-style keyboard. 

In terms of temperament, this scale can be viewed as the [[polymicrotonal|union]] of 9edo with [[6edo]], with three notes shared; or as a threefold-symmetrical 12 note non-MOS scale of [[18edo]], with intervals 2 1 1 2 2 1 1 2 2 1 1 2. 

This scale is explained in the following video:
