'''60afdo''' ([[AFDO|arithmetic frequency division of the octave]]), or '''60afdo''' ([[otonal division]] of the octave), divides the octave into sixty parts of 1/60 each. As a scale it may be known as [[Harmonic mode|mode 60 of the harmonic series]] or the [[Overtone scale #Over-n scales|Over-60]] scale. Due to 60 being 2 x 2 × 3 × 5, this AFDO contains many common [[5-limit]] intervals and is highly useful. It is a highly composite AFDO.
