[[Equiheptatonic]] scales are scales with 7 ''roughly equally'' spaced tones per [[octave]], common in some musical traditions. The exactly equal form of the equiheptatonic scale is [[7edo]].

~~“Equiheptatonic” scales are scales with~~ 7 ~~roughly equally spaced tones per~~ [[~~octave~~]]~~. They are usually not exactly equally spaced~~, ~~but deviate from equal by small amounts~~.

7 equal frequency divisions instead of pitch gives the heptatonic [[overtone scale]], the first mode of [[7afdo]].

~~Musical traditions that make use of equiheptatonic scales include:~~

~~An exactly equal equiheptatonic scale is [[7edo]], which is popular with modern Western xenharmonic composers.~~
