'''101afdo''' ([[AFDO|arithmetic frequency division of the octave]]), or '''101odo''' ([[otonal division]] of the octave), divides the octave into 101 parts of 1/101 each. It is a superset of [[100afdo]] and a subset of [[102afdo]]. As a scale it may be known as [[harmonic mode|mode 101 of the harmonic series]] or the [[overtone scale #Over-n scales|Over-101]] scale. This view is equivalent to 101afdo except that it has a fixed root and cannot be rotated.

It is a large [[primodality|primodal]] scale which is suited for use as a [[neji]] tuning. It is the 26th [[prime harmonic series|prime mode of the harmonic series]].

Best-approximating this many edos in general, and this many zeta peak edos specifically, is more than average for an afdo of this size, but it's not that unusual. [[104afdo]], for example, best-approximates similar numbers of both.

[[Budjarn Lambeth]] named 101afdo the '''Dalmatian scale''' {{idiosyncratic}} but no one else has been recorded using that name. That name is a reference to the animated TV series {{w|101 Dalmatian Street|''101 Dalmatian Street'' (2019)}}. He named some of its subsets after characters from that series based on the 'mood' evoked by the scales resembling those characters' personalities.
