'''Naive scale''' is a replication of a specific scale, usually MOS, through applying accidentals to an equitonic scale in a composite EDO.

Despite not being "in tune" or adhering to JI approximations, naive scales can sound just as effective as their progenitors due to perception of melody contour.

== Examples ==

=== Diatonic scales in 7N-edos ===
Major and minor scales can be replicated in edos divisible by 7 through raising or lowering the III, VI, and VII degrees of the equal 7-tone scale respectively.

For example, [[28edo]] has a minor third that is 7 steps wide and 1\7 of the octave is 4 steps wide. This means that the minor third is 1 step below 2 equiheptatonic steps, and therefore 1 step is the amount by which the degrees should be lowered. This produces a 0-4-9-12-16-21-25-28, or 4534543 scale. Likewise, minor scale is rendered through 0-4-7-12-16-19-23-28, or 4354345.
