<h2>IMPORTED REVISION FROM WIKISPACES</h2>
A '''consonant class scale''' is a scale with a '''consonant interval class''', that is, a number n such that all n-step intervals of the scale are "consonances" (of a certain odd limit).

The models for such scales are meantone[5] (in which the 2-step intervals are 5/4 and 4/3), and even better known, meantone[7] (in which the 2-step intervals are 6/5 and 5/4). Harmonizing a diatonic melody by parallel thirds is a commonly used formula that reliably produces beautiful harmony. Consonant class scales are an attempt to generalize this property of the diatonic scale.
