'''16afdo''' ([[AFDO|arithmetic frequency division of the octave]]), or '''16-ODO''' ([[otonal division]] of the octave), divides the octave into 16 parts of 1/16 each. It is a superset of [[15afdo]] and a subset of [[17afdo]]. As a scale it may be known as [[Harmonic mode|mode 16 of the harmonic series]] or the [[Overtone scale #Over-n scales|Over-16]] scale. Because 16 is a power of 2, 16afdo corresponds to the 16th to 32nd harmonics octave-reduced.

Harmonics 16–32
Prime factorization 24
Fifth 24/16 (701.955c)

The harmonic segment 16::32 (also harmonics 16–32) consists of harmonics 16 through 32 (16:17:…:32) and spans one octave above the root. Used as a scale, it is also called mode 16 of the harmonic series. The inverse consists of subharmonics 16–32.

The smallest edo that maintains 25% or lower relative error on all intervals of this scale is 311edo.

This article or section contains multiple idiosyncratic terms. Such terms are used by only a few people and are not regularly used within the community.

Terms: Most of these names were coined, and are solely used, by Budjarn Lambeth - however he was only the first to name many of these scales, others have probably already used them before him
