diatonic scale]], but has [[2/1|octave]]s stretched out to the size of a [[3/1|tritave]]. Other intervals are also stretched in a way that makes the unrecognizable–the diatonic fifth is now the size of a major seventh. Interestingly [[19edt]], an approximation of [[12edo]], has a tuning of this scale (being a stretched version of 19edo's diatonic scale), meaning it contains both the diatonic scale (identical to 12edo's) and the macrodiatonic scale.

=== Temperament interpretations ===
Although they have not been studied in detail, it is possible to construct no-twos [[rank-2 temperament]] interpretations of this scale, such as the as-of-yet unnamed b12 & b5 temperament in the 3.13.17 [[subgroup]], in which the generator is ~[[17/9]] and a stack of 4 generators tritave-reduced is ~[[13/9]]. See also the page for [[12edt]].
