The first two steps of the matharmonic series are 1 and 3/2, which have the same ratio as the second and third steps of the harmonic series, 2 and 3. To make them align the matharmonic series may be rebased onto 2, starting it a step late, inserting a 1 before it starts. This brings it closer in similarity to the harmonic series; this similarity could be useful when using the entire series as a scale rather than drawing scales from it. We therefore propose referring to this variation as the "emulatory edharmonic series", because it emulates the harmonic series.
