A common approach to building a sensible scale without octaves is to divide some nonoctave interval into logarithmically equal parts, as one would divide the octave to arrive at an [[EDO]]. Such a scale is sometimes called an [[EDONOI]], short for "equal divisions of a nonoctave interval". One can also build rational scales with nonoctave repeats or no repeat (e.g. [[Superparticular-Nonoctave-MOS]]). Nonoctave scales may contain a "near octave" or "tempered octave" which would be an interval near a [[2_1|2/1]] but not measuring 1200¢. In this category, there are stretched octaves and compressed octaves, each having their own character.
