''Nonoctave ~~scales~~'' come in many varieties, but what unites them is a lack of ~~octaves~~. A common approach to building a sensible scale without octaves is to divide some nonoctave interval into logarithmically [[Equal|equal]] parts, as one would divide the octave to arrive at an [[EDO|EDO]]. Such a scale is sometimes called an [[edonoi|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|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.

Composers and theorists known for their work in nonoctave scales include [[X._J._Scott|X. J. Scott]] (see: [http://www.nonoctave.com http://www.nonoctave.com]); [[Wendy_Carlos|Wendy Carlos]]; [[Gary_Morrison|Gary Morrison]]; [[Carlo_Serafini|Carlo Serafini]]; and [[Heinz_Bohlen|Heinz Bohlen]], [[John_Pierce|John Pierce]], and [[Kees_van_Prooijen|Kees van Prooijen]], the latter trio being associated with the [[Bohlen-Pierce|Bohlen-Pierce]] scale.
