9edo contains a pentatonic [[mos scale]] produced by stacking 4/9 of [[2L 3s]] (1 3 1 3 1), which has a heptatonic extension, [[2L 5s]] (1 1 2 1 1 2 1, sometimes called "mavila" or "antidiatonic").

You can also use the 2/9, which generates mos scales of [[1L 3s]] (3 2 2 2) and [[4L 1s]] (2 2 2 2 1) and can be interpreted as either an extremely sharp [[bug]] scale or an extremely flat [[orwell]] one.

[[14edt]] can be used as a version of 9edo significantly [[stretched and compressed tuning|stretched]] [[octave]]s (~23{{c}}). This can help make the antidiatonic fifth more consonant, and could be used as an approximation for [[pelog]].

=== Werntz Nocture Scale ===
=== Werntz Nocturne scale ===
The Werntz Nocture Scale, created by Julia Werntz, consists of 9edo with three notes inserted from 12edo to use as "embellishing notes", thereby making use of all twelve keys in each octave of a piano-style keyboard. This is explained in the following video:
