A '''breuddwyd scale'''{{idiosyncratic}} (''pronounced "braid wood"'') is any [[polymicrotonal]] scale which combines four scales, the first scale with 5 tones per [[equave]], the second with 11, the third with 13 and the fourth with 31. | A '''breuddwyd scale'''{{idiosyncratic}} (''pronounced "braid wood"'') is any [[polymicrotonal]] scale which combines four scales, the first scale with 5 tones per [[equave]], the second with 11, the third with 13 and the fourth with 31. | ||
