Temperaments supported by this scale include those under the [[Pythagorean tuning|Pythagorean]] and [[Schismatic family|schismic]] families, characterized by a diesis (the difference between a large step and two small steps) that is smaller than the [[chroma]].

This MOS separates its small steps by intervals of 3L-2L-3L-2L-2L. Its major third of -4 generators approximates an interval between [[24/19]] and [[32/25]], thus its generator is a perfect fourth between 7\17 (494.118 cents) and 5\12 (500 cents).


The [[leapday]]/[[leapweek]] version is proper, but the Pythagorean/schismic version is improper (it does not become proper until you add 12 more notes to form the schismic 29-note scale).
