'''6afdo''' ([[AFDO|arithmetic frequency division of the octave]]), or '''6odo''' ([[otonal division]] of the octave), divides the octave into six parts of 1/6 each. As a scale it may be known as [[Harmonic mode|mode 6 of the harmonic series]] or the [[Overtone scale #Over-n scales|Over-6]] scale. It is an effective system that contains several useful intervals such as [[7/6]], [[4/3]] and [[3/2]] although it lacks a major third on its root position.
