The steps of these 7 basic patterns can also be permuted/rotated to give a total of 28 tetrachords, which can then be combined in either conjunct or disjunct form to yield a staggering number of scales. Thus 21edo can do reasonably-convincing imitations of the melodic forms of various tetrachordal musical traditions, such as ancient Greek, maqam, and dastgah. | The steps of these 7 basic patterns can also be permuted/rotated to give a total of 28 tetrachords, which can then be combined in either conjunct or disjunct form to yield a staggering number of scales.

The [[patent val]] for 21edo tempers out [[128/125]] and [[2187/2000]] in the [[5-limit]], and supplies the [[optimal patent val]] for the 5-limit [[laconic]] temperament tempering out 2187/2000, and also the optimal patent val for 7-, 11- and 13-limit [[gorgo]], and 11- and 13-limit spartan. These temperaments lead to some "interesting" mappings, where 10/9 is larger than 9/8, 11/9 is larger than 16/13, and 8/7 maps to the same interval as 10/9, for instance. | The [[patent val]] for 21edo tempers out [[128/125]] and [[2187/2000]] in the [[5-limit]], and supplies the [[optimal patent val]] for the 5-limit [[laconic]] temperament tempering out 2187/2000, and also the optimal patent val for 7-, 11- and 13-limit [[gorgo]], and 11- and 13-limit spartan.
