that was also true for superpyth, pepperoni, etc.

As an example, the anti-Ionian scale has steps of ssLsssL, which looks like the regular Ionian scale except the "L" intervals are now "s" and vice versa.

Because of the structure of this unique tuning, every existing piece of common practice music has, effectively, a shadow version in mavila temperament. That is, with {{w|Ludwig van Beethoven|Beethoven}}'s {{w|Für Elise}}, there are actually two compositions – the one that you know, and the antidiatonic equivalent in mavila temperament that has never been heard before until now. Examples of this are provided in the [[#Music]] section.


Mavila's antidiatonic scale is similar to [[Pelog]] scales used in Indonesian gamelan music. While Pelog's exact tuning is subject to significant regional variation and usually has unequal intervals throughout the scale (as opposed to having exactly two interval sizes), it can be well approximated by the antidiatonic scales of [[9edo]] and [[16edo]].
