Tetrachord notation will show three steps (as degrees of 17edo) separated by hyphens.

For instance, tetrachord 3-3-1 consists of

===The tetrachords===  
===17edo primary tetrachords===  
 
We have 9 primary tetrachords in 17edo.

===17edo tetrachords complete===
A more generalized tetrachord system would allow multiple seconds or multiple thirds: for instance, 1-1-5 or 5-1-1. Thus, a complete chart of 17edo tetrachords looks like this (with primary tetrachords in bold):
 
|| 1-1-5 || 2-1-4 || **3-1-3** || 4-1-2 || 5-1-1 ||
|| 1-2-4 || **2-2-3** || **3-2-2** || 4-2-1 ||  ||
|| **1-3-3** || **2-3-2** || **3-3-1** ||  ||  ||
|| **1-4-2** || **2-4-1** ||  ||  ||  ||
|| **1-5-1** ||  ||  ||  ||  ||
Thus, by allowing multiples seconds or multiple thirds, we add 6 new tetrachords to our 9 primary tetrachords, for a total of 15. Our new ones:
