[[File:1-5-9-15_by_17-12_Bihexany.png|thumb|Circle diagram.]] A [[17-limit]] [[bihexany]]. This creates a scale of 1 17/16 9/8 153/128 51/40 85/64 17/12 3/2 51/32 27/16 9/5 15/8 2/1, with steps of 17/16 18/17 17/16 16/15 25/24 16/15 18/17 17/16 18/17 16/15 25/24 16/15. As all the notes apart from the root in the [[1-5-9-15_hexany|~~1-5-9-15_hexany~~]]~~base hexany~~ have at least one power of three in the top, this is a good way to cancel some of them while also keeping intervals evenly spaced, resulting in a scale entirely composed of superparticular intervals with only 4 different step sizes that maps unambiguously to a 12edo keyboard. 6 of the notes have perfect fifths above them, 2 are sharp by 136/135, 2 are sharp by 256/255, 1 is flat by 51/50 and 1 is flat by 432/425. As it is comprised of chains of 5 semitone steps that average slightly larger than 12edo semitones, then a third tone, this is an unambiguous detemper of the 12 note mos scale of the 2.3.5.17 subgroup [[srutal_archagall]] temperament and music composed in that temperament can be converted to this scale and remain recognisable.
