Harmonic Segments Along Fifths (HSAF) [sing. ''a Harmonic Segment along Fifths''] are a type of [[periodic scale]] built by taking a specific [[harmonic series]] | Harmonic Segments Along Fifths (HSAF) [sing. ''a Harmonic Segment along Fifths''] are a type of octave-[[periodic scale]] built by taking a specific [[harmonic series segment]] that ends in 4/3 and repeating times 3/2. They are a unique mix of [[tetrachord]]<nowiki/>s and [[overtone scales]] that exhibit [[omnitetrachordality]] to some extent, and a type of [[NEJI]] (Near-equivalent Just Intonation). | ||
