I think a lot of work being done here and on related pages is trying to "reinvent the wheel", considering we already have [[Overtone scale]] and possibly other related pages which might cover the same topic as well. I do think it is important to have this type of scales clearly presented on the wiki, but I don't think "ADO" is how most people would refer to that concept. There are definitely many alternative names out there: [[Harmonotonic tuning|harmonic series segment]], [[Overtone scale|mode of the harmonic series]], [[Primodality|lineal segment]], etc. If each person tries to push forward their favourite terminology (in terms of how to structure the wiki), I'm afraid it will just create more confusion than necessary, even though I believe that alternative terms for a single concept isn't in itself a problem. --[[User:Fredg999|Fredg999]] ([[User talk:Fredg999|talk]]) 03:33, 2 March 2023 (UTC)

I mostly agree with you. I didn't know of the [[overtone scale]] article's existence before you posted this, but looking at it now it appears to describe the same concept as this article. So I believe a merging of these articles would be beneficial.

The "mode n" is the same as what this article refers to as n-ADO. So I believe a merging of these articles would be beneficial.
