Certain scales, in particular the ones that are labeled as idiosyncratic in the above table, were named as such for certain reasons, as explained below:
Certain scales, in particular the ones that are labeled as idiosyncratic in the above table, were named as such for certain reasons, as explained below:
=== Straintone and Antistraintone ===
=== Straintone and Antistraintone ===
Straintone was named for its "strained" sound when played, especially in 24EDO. Antistraintone was named after the fact that is it effectively the "anti-" version of Straintone, made with a generator larger than that of [[11edo]]'s Tetris scale instead of smaller.

Tetris was named after a possible naming of its [[MOS_scale|MOS]], "tetra-L tri-s" (4L3s), which could be shortened to "tel-tris," and then to just "tetris."
