Since the intervals of the 2.3.7-subgroup cluster around [[5edo]], a pentatonic system of interval classification may be preferred over the heptatonic one, with 7/6 being a major interval and 8/7 being a minor one.

Of course, scales generated by the perfect fifth aren't the only scales 17edo contains. Another type of scale is [[neutral third scales]], which are generated by half a fifth (5\17), and take the MOS patterns [[4L 3s]] (mosh) and [[7L 3s]] (dicoid). Other notable scales include that of [[bleu]] (generated by 2\17), and [[skwares]] (generated by 6\17). Non-MOS scales also exist; a more complete can be found in the [[#Scales]] section.

Because the 5th harmonic is not well-approximated, using timbres with attenuated 5th harmonics (and its multiples) may reduce audible beating.
