The [[MOSScales|Moments of Symmetry]] paradigm is a fascinating way of thinking about building sub-scales of EDOs and relating them to non-EDO scales. | The [[MOSScales|Moments of Symmetry]] paradigm is a fascinating way of thinking about building sub-scales of EDOs and relating them to non-EDO scales. | ||
When an edo divides the octave into fewer than 12 divisions (so that each step exceeds 100 cents), you might call it a [[macrotonal edos|macrotonal edo]]. | When an edo divides the octave into fewer than 12 divisions (so that each step exceeds 100 cents), you might call it a [[macrotonal edos|macrotonal edo]]. Of these, 1, 2, 3, 4 and 6 divide 12 and so are already available to anyone wishing to explore them. The 5, 7 and 9 edos have arguably been used in various kinds of musical traditions in different parts of the world. | ||
All of these tools are also applicable to equal divisions of other ([[nonoctave]]) intervals as well. | All of these tools are also applicable to equal divisions of other ([[nonoctave]]) intervals as well. | ||
