Another example of a macrodiatonic scale is [[17ed5|hyperpyth]] which repeats at the fifth harmonic and is based on the 5:9:13:(17):(21) chord.

In octave land, 12edo handles the 2.3.5 subgroup and 11edo handles the 2.7.11 subgroup - ie. meantone and orgone temperaments. In tritave land however, 13edt handles the 3.5.7 territory (Bohlen-Pierce) and 12edt handles the 2.3.5.13.17.19 -- AND! it is a multiple of 4edt which is the simplest BP equal temperament.
