Division of 8/3 into equal parts does not necessarily imply directly using this interval as an [[equivalence]]. Many, though not all, ed8/3 scales have a perceptually important [[Pseudo-octave|false octave]], with various degrees of accuracy.

The eleventh is the highest [[period]] where composers do not need to go beyond the false octave just to have a reasonably complete chordal harmony. The structural utility of 8/3 or another eleventh as a period may be undermined, though, by the fact that 8/3 is the ~~[[Glossary#A~~|avoid note]] in a major modality. This matters less in Mixolydian than it does in Ionian given that the former is the natural dominant scale anyway.

The eleventh is the highest [[period]] where composers do not need to go beyond the false octave just to have a reasonably complete chordal harmony. The structural utility of 8/3 or another eleventh as a period may be undermined, though, by the fact that 8/3 is the {{w|avoid note}} in a major modality. This matters less in Mixolydian than it does in Ionian given that the former is the natural dominant scale anyway.

One approach to ed8/3 tunings is the use of the 3:4:5:6:(8) chord as the fundamental complete sonority in a very similar way to the 4:5:6:(8) chord in [[meantone]].
