The 4L 6s 4|4(2) scale (called Pacific), can be spelled like so:
C, η, α{{demiflat2}}, E{{demiflat2}}, F, γ, G, A{{demiflat2}}, ε{{demiflat2}}, ζ, C
[[User:2^67-1|Cole]] prefers to spell it on D, giving:
D, α, β{{demiflat2}}, F{{demisharp2}}, G, δ, A, B{{demiflat2}}, ζ{{demisharp2}}, η, D


Simple hemipyth chords can be plucked out of the square root of the Pythagorean segment 1:√2:√3:2:√6:√8:3:√12:4:√18:√24:√27:√32:6:√48:√54:8:√72:9:√96:√108:√128:... e.g. 2:√6:3 is a neutral chord where spicy tension can be added by including the semioctave for 2:√6:√8:3 with no increase in complexity as far as the generator of the subgroup is concerned.
