	'''Trachytonic''' is the 7-note MODMOS LLmmLLs, which is the pattern of the maqam [[Bayati]] taken as a scale in the context of Western xenharmonic theory. It is usually tuned in 17edo (that is, 3322331). It is not a maximally even scale (since seconds, thirds, sixths, and sevenths all come in three rather than two sizes). However, it is notable for being [[Rothenberg_propriety\|strictly proper]], whereas the 17edo diatonic scale is not proper at all, and the 12edo diatonic scale is proper but not strictly so.
