1-odd-limit  3-odd-limit →

The 9-odd-limit is the set of all rational intervals which can be written as 2^k(a/b) where a, b ≤ 9 and k is an integer. To the 7-odd-limit, it adds 3 pairs of octave-reduced intervals involving 9.

Below is a list of all octave-reduced intervals in the 9-odd-limit.

• 1/1
• 10/9, 9/5
• 9/8, 16/9
• 8/7, 7/4
• 7/6, 12/7
• 6/5, 5/3
• 5/4, 8/5
• 9/7, 14/9
• 4/3, 3/2
• 7/5, 10/7
