Centaur is a 12-tone [[just intonation]] scale created by [[Kraig Grady]]. It is [[7-limit]] and [[mesotonal]]. It consists of a [[5-limit]] just [[diatonic scale]] with 7-limit accidentals. | |||
Grady's article on the scale is located at ''[http://anaphoria.com/centaur.html Centaur: a 7-limit Mesotonal Tuning]'' and includes discussions of related scales, including the [[11-limit]] scale [[Centaura]]. | |||
