Subgroups with no 2s, e.g. 3.5.7.11, are the most jarring break away from familiar harmony, which one may consider a good or a bad thing. | Subgroups with no 2s, e.g. 3.5.7.11, are the most jarring break away from familiar harmony, which one may consider a good or a bad thing. | ||
Subgroups with 2s and 3s but no 5s, e.g. 2.3.7.11, preserve the most fundamental familiar intervals like the octave and the fifth, but do away with the 5-limit major and minor intervals of common practice harmony | Subgroups with 2s and 3s but no 5s, e.g. 2.3.7.11, preserve the most fundamental familiar intervals like the octave and the fifth, but do away with the 5-limit major and minor intervals of common practice harmony^<ref>^According to the 2.3.5 reading of common practice harmony.

Some theorists believe including 13, 17 or higher in a subgroup is pointless because the brain can't register such complex intervals. Others believe these intervals are registered by the brain, perhaps subtly and subconsciously in some instances, but still there. | Some theorists believe including 13, 17 or higher in a subgroup is pointless because the brain can't register such complex intervals.
