10edo contains all the intervals of [[5edo]], but also adds another copy of it separated by 120 [[cent]]s. The new intervals have sizes of 120{{c}}, 360{{c}}, 600{{c}}, 840{{c}}, and 1080{{c}}. The 120{{c}} interval can be treated a small neutral second or large minor 2nd, and its inversion a large neutral seventh or small major 7th, with the 120{{c}} and 1080{{c}} intervals being close (about 0.6{{c}} off) to [[15/14]] and [[28/15]] respectively. The 360{{c}} interval is a large neutral third, being about 0.5{{c}} sharp of [[16/13]], with its inversion being equally close to [[13/8]]. Finally, the 600{{c}} ~~interva~~ is the tritone that appears in every even-numbered edo, including [[12edo]].

Taking the the 360{{c}} large neutral third as a [[generator]] produces a heptatonic [[MOS scale|moment of symmetry scale]] with step sizes {{nowrap|2 1 1 2 1 2 1}} (pattern [[3L 4s]], or "mosh"), which is the most [[Diatonic scale|diatonic]]-like scale in 10edo excluding the 5edo [[collapsed]] diatonic scale, and can be seen as a [[neutralized]] diatonic scale.
