== Squirrel ==

If you want an evenly distributed heptatonic scale that gives easy access to the perfect fifth, you instead need to use the [[Squirrel]] mapping.

If you want an evenly distributed heptatonic scale that gives easy access to the perfect fifth, you instead need to use the [[Squirrel]] mapping. [[Bryan Deister]] has demonstrated this mapping in [https://www.youtube.com/shorts/3la1W-_-ceA ''36edo cowbell''] (2025).

Line 17:

=== 5L 1s (7:1 step ratio, large reverse chroma, down-right-divided octave) ===

The [[5L 1s]] (7:1 step ratio, upside-down scale) large reverse chroma mapping uses a slightly larger but very hard scale to compact the standard diatonic scale into two strings of single-step movements (although still rotated from the ~~custmoary~~ orientation), while also making offset strings of [[6edo]] into compact down-right key sequences, thereby dividing each octave into six parts, which may be useful for playing divided-octave temperaments. However, this makes fingerings for many chords somewhat awkward while putting octaves all over the place.

The [[5L 1s]] (7:1 step ratio, upside-down scale) large reverse chroma mapping uses a slightly larger but very hard scale to compact the standard diatonic scale into two strings of single-step movements (although still rotated from the customary orientation), while also making offset strings of [[6edo]] into compact down-right key sequences, thereby dividing each octave into six parts, which may be useful for playing divided-octave temperaments. However, this makes fingerings for many chords somewhat awkward while putting octaves all over the place.

Line 24:

== ~~Echidnic~~ ==

== Baladic ==

Another option is the [[6L 4s]] [[~~Echidnic~~]] mapping:

Another good option is the [[4L 2s]] [[Baladic]] mapping, which divides the octave in two to add easily accessible ratios of 13 & 17 to slendrics 2.3.7 subgroup and keeps octaves near horizontal, while keeping the less well tuned ratios of 5 and 11 distant from one-another.
