that was also true for superpyth, pepperoni, etc. |
I think it's still useful to mention this (as Wad Wizard said it's a great "pitch" for mavila) but it should be in the context of the antidiatonic scale rather than mavila as a temperament |

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. | 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 antidiatonic. 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 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]]. | Mavila's antidiatonic scale is similar to [[Pelog]] scales used in Indonesian gamelan music.
