This scale has 9 just perfect fifths, 5 just major thirds, 6 harmonic sevenths, and 5 11-limit superfourths. One interesting thing about this scale is that it has 3 chains of pseudo-5edo that only contain perfect fifths and harmonic sevenths. (This subset scale is 1/1, 9/8, 21/16, 3/2, 7/4, 2/1 or the chord 16:18:21:24:28:32.) In the same way that 15edo could be used as 5edo with a few extra ornamental notes, this scale could be used as pseudo-5edo with occasional 5-limit and 11-limit melodies/harmonies | This scale has 9 just perfect fifths, 5 just major thirds, 6 harmonic sevenths, and 5 11-limit superfourths.
