Screamapillar has three different step sizes and is described as a LLmmLLs scale (i. e., 3322331). As such, it is not a maximally even scale (since seconds, thirds, sixths, and sevenths all come in three rather than two sizes). However, screamapillar 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.

Screamapillar can be obtained by a single chromatic modification of the diatonic scale; if we take 17edo's diatonic major (Ionian) mode, and raise the fourth by one step, we get screamapillar (specifically, the Springfieldian mode). Screamapillar is also one modification away from the [[Mohajira|rast]] scale, so it has resemblance to both Western and Middle-Eastern scales.

Screamapillar is named by analogy with [[scorp]] (as both are arthropod creatures starting with "sc"), and also because the major fourth of 17edo (which functions as 11:8, among others) has a very bright sound as though it is "screaming"'; ambulance sirens often use similar intervals. Timbres where the eleventh harmonic is strong tend to take on a similar character.
