~~{{main|Pseudo-traditional harmonic functions of enneatonic scale degrees}}~~

[[:Category:9-tone scales|Enneatonic scale]]s, especially those equivalent at 7/3, can sensibly take [[tetrad]]s as the fundamental complete sonorities of a pseudo-traditional functional harmony due to their seventh degree being as structurally important as it is. Many, though not all, of these scales have a perceptually important [[Pseudo-octave|pseudo (false) octave]], with various degrees of accuracy.

Incidentally, one way to treat 7/3 as an equivalence is the use of the 3:4:5:(7) chord as the fundamental complete sonority in a very similar way to the 4:5:6:(8) chord in [[meantone]]. Whereas in meantone it takes four [[3/2]] to get to [[5/1]], here it takes two [[28/15]] to get to [[7/2]] (tempering out the comma [[225/224]]). So, doing this yields 15-, 19-, and 34-note [[mos]] 2/1 apart. While the notes are rather farther apart, the scheme is uncannily similar to meantone. [[Joseph Ruhf]] named this scheme "macrobichromatic".
