You can of course fit any scale into other edos by hobbling. For instance, 22edo's pajara can be fit into 23 (in which case has 8 modes instead of 4!) | You can of course fit any scale into other edos by hobbling.

== Modulation Pathways == | === Modulation Pathways === | ||
Hobbled scales can facilitate modulation between different MOS patterns or EDO systems, as the altered intervals may serve as pivot points or transitional harmonies. For example, you could start in 24edo, hobble one small leg into 23 for a brief passage, then hobble it again to balance the legs out into 22edo so that it temporarily is 'beaten' into shape. | Hobbled scales can facilitate modulation between different MOS patterns or EDO systems, as the altered intervals may serve as pivot points or transitional harmonies.

It lends particular well for dual fifth systems, as a hobbled scale will have two different interval types for every scale step, and thus sound less 'wrong' when hearing inconsistency in interval quality. | It lends particular well for dual fifth systems, as a hobbled scale will have two different interval types for every scale step, and thus sound less 'wrong' when hearing inconsistency in interval quality. | ||
