Out of the 5,176 files, the range of system sizes extends from 2 to 579. The average system size is 17, with a median of 12. The mode is also 12, appearing 1,546 times, followed by 7-note size tunings with 715 occurrences. This signifies a diverse collection, albeit with a notable concentration of systems hovering around the 12-note mark. | Out of the 5,176 files, the range of system sizes extends from 2 to 579.

While some files span multiple octaves or include [[Subharmonic|non-reduced intervals below the unison]], these instances are relatively rare. Most are periodic tunings in alignment with the [[octave]], the archive's most common interval. | While some files span multiple octaves or include [[Subharmonic|non-reduced intervals below the unison]], these instances are relatively rare.

(Note: rather than relatively rare, some are purposefully wrong, since scala file definition asks for omit the 1, and end with the equave) | ||
In a direct analysis of the files, the first key from each tuning, totaling 87,558 notes, reveals the octave as the most common, appearing with its exact representation in 4,481 total files and with close variations in practically all tunings. | In a direct analysis of the files, the first key from each tuning, totaling 87,558 notes, reveals the octave as the most common, appearing with its exact representation in 4,481 total files and with close variations in practically all tunings. | ||
