A pictorial representation of Mintaka[7], two modes of Mintaka[12], and Mintaka[17], and how they vary across the tuning spectrum, with representative tunings of the two main 13-limit extensions depicted in more detail including approximate JI ratios of each interval.

While the macrodiatonic might suffice for the 3.7.11 subgroup, larger scales are needed to represent the primes 5 and 13 in Mintra; the tetrads 5:7:9:11 (~7:9:11:15), 7:9:11:13, and 9:11:13:15 would be bases of harmony in this extended subgroup. In terms of amount of generators (11/7) up from the tonic, these become 0:−9:−6:−8 (~0:3:1:9); 0:3:1:16, and 0:-2:13:6; the 17-note scale therefore includes all tetrads, although not on the same tonic.
