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.

=== 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. In terms of temperament, this scale can be viewed as the union of 9edo with [[6edo]], with three notes shared; or as a threefold-symmetrical 12 note non-MOS scale of [[36edo]], with intervals 4 2 2 4 4 2 2 4 4 2 2 4. This scale is explained in the following video:
