231 years is the number of years in a 41 out of 231 leap week cycle, which corresponds to a 41 & 149 temperament tempering out 132055/131072, 166375/165888, and 2460375/2458624. This type of solar calendar leap rule scale may actually be of more use to harmony, since a 41 note subset mimics [[41edo]], a rather useful edo harmonically, and it preserves the simple commas mentioned above.

Since the patent val mapping of fifth in 231edo is divisible by 9, it can be used for playing the [[Carlos Alpha]] scale.
