These scales along with the evenly spaced scales of [[2edo]], [[3edo]], and [[5edo]] are the full set of "minimal" perfectly balanced scales in 30edo, which cannot be expressed as the union of two disjoint perfectly balanced scales.

Searching for minimal perfectly balanced scales is nontrivial. Milne et al. [http://www.dynamictonality.com/perfect_balance_files/ computed all such patterns] for products of three distinct primes up to ''N'' = 102.

Search procedures for perfectly balanced scales under other optimization criteria are conceivable. Minimizing [[harmonic entropy]] is one such approach.
