Suggested for use as a "diatonic scale" when playing Bohlen-Pierce is the 9-note Lambda scale, which is the 4L5s MOS with [[equave]] 3/1. This can be thought of as an MOS generated by a 3.5.7 rank-2 temperament called BPS (Bohlen-Pierce-Stearns) that eliminates only the comma 245/243, so that 9/7 * 9/7 = 5/3.

This is a very good temperament on the 3.5.7 subgroup, and additionally is supported by many EDT's (and even EDOs!) besides 13-EDT.
