'''6afdo''' ([[AFDO|arithmetic frequency division of the octave]]), or '''6odo''' ([[otonal division]] of the octave), divides the octave into six parts of 1/6 each. As a scale it may be known as [[Harmonic mode|mode 6 of the harmonic series]] or the [[Overtone scale #Over-n scales|Over-6]] scale. ([[Budjarn Lambeth]] calls it the ''Freeway scale''.{{idiosyncratic}}) In its root position, 6afdo is an effective system that contains several useful intervals such as [[7/6]], [[4/3]] and [[3/2]], although it lacks a major third.
'''6afdo''' ([[AFDO|arithmetic frequency division of the octave]]), or '''6odo''' ([[otonal division]] of the octave), divides the octave into six parts of 1/6 each. It is a superset of [[5afdo]] and a subset of [[7afdo]]. As a scale it may be known as [[Harmonic mode|mode 6 of the harmonic series]] or the [[Overtone scale #Over-n scales|Over-6]] scale.
