By a family of scales is meant a certain set of scales, finite or infinite, generated according to a regular and exactly specified method. Examples of scale families include:
Just intonation scales

- Temperaments
- Clippers
- Dwarves
- Elves
- Essentially tempered scales
- Hobbits
- Lesfip scales
- Regular temperaments
- Rank-1 temperaments / Equal-step tunings
- Equal divisions of the octave (EDOs or ED2s)
- Equal divisions of the third harmonic (EDTs or ED3s)
- Equal divisions of the fourth harmonic (ED4s)
- Equal divisions of the fifth harmonic (ED5s)
- Equal divisions of the sixth harmonic (ED6s)
- Equal divisions of the seventh harmonic (ED7s)
- Equal divisions of the eighth harmonic (ED8s)
