[[17edo|17-tone equal tuning]] has fifths very close to [[just intonation|just-intonation]] (and [[12edo|12-equal]]) fifths. Consequently we use the usual [[Circle of fifths|circle-of-fifths]] on a five-line-staff [[notation]], with a twist of new [[enharmonic]] equivalents, caused by the accumulation of the difference in the size of the fifth. To figure out the enharmonic names of any closed circle of fifths, write out a portion of it, like:

and then wrap it into a circle of the desired size. If you do this with 17, you will notice that Cb = A#...that's how big the value of "flat/sharp" is in 17. The closer two notes are in the circle, the more familiar to us their harmonic function.

The lines across indicate five fifths ("minor second") (1/17 of an octave). Now we can order them ascendingly:


[[image:17versus12names width="1" height="1"]][[image:17versus12names]]
The lines across indicate five fourths = "minor second" = 1/17 of an octave. (We know this because 17's perfect fourth is 7/17 of an [[octave]], and 7*5 modulo 17 = 1.)


Note that C# is HIGHER than Db; note that none of the intervals save the octave/unison are exactly the same as in 12. Note that The "half step"/"minor second" in 17 is twice as small as the "augmented unison"/"sharp"/"flat." Two sharp/flats add up to a minor third. Two "neutral thirds" add up to a "perfect fifth." These last two properties are shared with 24-equal (quartertones).
So if we re-wrap the circle according to these lines, we should get the 17 notes of the scale in ascending/descending order (I moved A to the top just because):


If the old notation is bothering you, here it is in cents (hundredths of a 12-equal half step):
