62 years is the amount of years in a leap week calendar cycle which corresponds to a year of 365 days 5 hours 48 minutes 23 seconds, meaning it is both a simple cycle for a calendar, and 62 being a multiple of 31 makes it a harmonically useful and playable cycle. The corresponding maximal evenness scales are 15 & 62 and 11 & 62. | 62 years is the amount of years in a leap week calendar cycle which corresponds to a year of 365 days 5 hours 48 minutes 23 seconds, meaning it is both a simple cycle for a calendar, and 62 being a multiple of 31 makes it a harmonically useful and playable cycle.

=== Skip fretting === | |||
'''[[Skip fretting]] system 62 6 11''' has strings tuned 11\62 apart, while frets are 6\62. | |||
On a 4-string bass, here are your open strings: | |||
0 11 22 33 | |||
A good supraminor 3rd is found on the 2nd string, 1st fret. A supermajor third is found on the open 3rd string. The major 6th can be found on the 4th string, 2nd fret. | |||
5-string bass | |||
51 0 11 22 33 | |||
This adds an interval of a major 7th (minus an 8ve) at the first string, 1st fret. | |||
6-string guitar | |||
0 11 22 33 44 55 | |||
”Major” 020131 | |||
7-string guitar | |||
0 11 22 33 44 55 4 | |||
'''Skip fretting system 62 9 11''' is another 62edo skip fretting system. The 5th is on the 5th string. The major 3rd is on the 2nd string, 1st fret. | |||
