9edo contains a pentatonic [[mos scale]] produced by stacking 4/9 of [[2L 3s]] (1 3 1 3 1), which has a heptatonic extension, [[2L 5s]] (1 1 2 1 1 2 1, sometimes called "mavila" or "antidiatonic").

You can also use the 2/9, which generates mos scales of [[1L 3s]] (3 2 2 2) and [[4L 1s]] (2 2 2 2 1) and can be interpreted as either an extremely sharp [[bug]] scale or an extremely flat [[orwell]] one.

=== Werntz Nocture Scale ===
=== Werntz Nocturne scale ===
The Werntz Nocture Scale, created by [[Julia Werntz]], consists of 9edo with three notes inserted from 12edo to use as "embellishing notes", thereby making use of all twelve keys in each octave of a piano-style keyboard. In terms of temperament, this scale can be viewed as the union of 9edo with [[6edo]], with three notes shared; or as a threefold-symmetrical 12 note non-MOS scale of [[36edo]], with intervals 4 2 2 4 4 2 2 4 4 2 2 4. This scale is explained in the following video:
