The decatonic scale is excellent for 4:5:13 triads. It's generated by a major third, and two of them span a 4:5:13 triad, spanning degrees 1-4-8, and three of them span a 4:5:13:21 tetrad. This means that 8 of the 10 degrees have a 4:5:13 triad, and 7 of them in turn have a 4:5:13:21. | The decatonic scale is excellent for 4:5:13 triads.

The LsssLssLss | The following is a sortable table of LsssLssLss. (Harmonics are in bold; this is useful for seeing a chord's complexity when you sort the intervals according to the generator chain.) If you want an 11/8 instead of a 21/16 you can sharpen the 5th degree to get LssLsssLsss which is the only mode to have a 4:5:9:11:13 on the tonic. | ||
