'''septimal subphrygian d4 d5'''
<small>subminor-coloured scales often use subminor 3rds, 6ths, and 7ths. i realized through experimentation that flattening the 2nds, 4ths, and 5ths by a similar amount that the minor 3rd, 6th, and 7th are flattened creates really pretty scales!! i have made a few submajor, subminor, and subdorian scales using this method, but this septimal scale is my favourite so far:</small>
<small>[[21/20]] subminor 2nd (84.467 cents)</small>
<small>[[7/6]] subminor 2nd (266.871 cents)</small>
<small>[[21/16]] sub 4th (470.781 cents)</small>
<small>[[28/19]] sub 5th/🐺(671.313 cents)</small>
<small>[[14/9]] subminor 6th (764.916 cents)</small>
<small>[[7/4]] subminor/harmonic 7th (968.826)</small>
<small>[[2/1]] octave (1200c)</small>
'''Lavender hexatonic scale'''
<small>i designed this scale to have a soft, dreamlike sound! it is very xenharmonic, but not very dissonant. it is used in my song "lavender".</small>
[[12/11]] neutral 2nd (150.637 cents)
[[7/6]] subminor 3rd (266.871 cents)
[[21/16]] sub4th (470.781 cents)
[[105/64]] neutral 6th (857.09 cents)

=== Gutierrez 11/1-period heptachord ===
=== Generator sequence 200, 171.429 (2/1 period) with pure 7/4 added ===
In a public post on the [[Xenharmonic Alliance]] Discord server, in September 2025, Gutierrez described the following [[nonoctave]], 7-tone [[just intonation]] chord:
Gutierrez described this scale in April 2026:
* 11/9 — 19/7 — 3/1 — 19/4 — 7/1 — 9/1 — 11/1
 
It is a [[19-limit]] chord.

Budjarn Lambeth tested this scale in all [[afdo]]s and [[edo]]s up to 100, and he believes it sounds best in: [[72afdo]], [[84afdo]], [[52edo]], [[67edo]] and [[84edo]].
 
==== Gutierrez-Lambeth otonal neutral hexatonic ====
[[Budjarn Lambeth]] made a variant of Maeve's scale by taking a 6-tone subset and then moving individual intervals around by a [[chroma]] until he could 'play the melody he was hearing in his head':

If you take all the intervals of [[3ed7/3]] up to its sharp [[tritave]] and octave-reduce them, you get a scale almost exactly the same (within 0.25{{c}}) as the superpyth[5] [[MOS scale]] in 27edo. This scale sounds somewhere in between [[12edo]] pentatonic and [[5edo]] equipentatonic.
