Double modes could be generalized to any [[EDO]] that contains both a diatonic scale and a [[diesis (melodic unit)]] - that is, an [[interval]] in the range between 25 [[cent]]s and 45 cents.

Double modes in other scales are constructed the same way as in 31edo - start with a diatonic mode (or MODMOS thereof), then flatten the octave by one diesis.

If the EDO has multiple dieses available, then the one closest to 38.7 cents (i.e. the 31edo diesis) should be used.
