Documented a scale I spent an embarrassing amount of time thinking about this afternoon

Still, if you're daring and crazy enough to venture over the hedge, well, no one can stop you. 3 million intervals are waiting for you.

== Approaches ==
Any approach to the Over the Hedge scale has to start with drastically cutting down the number of intervals in play.
One way to do that is to make a neji scale using a large edo of interest.
Another way is to try a [[polymicrotonal]] approach. The Over the Hedge scale contains AFDOs {{AFDOs|17, 73, 1241, 3019, 51323, and 220387}} above its root, without rotating to any other mode. So, you could use multiple of those AFDOs at the same time, and you would technically be playing within the Over the Hedge scale.
You could even combine this with the neji approach: make nejis from each of those smaller AFDOs, and then have music in multiple nejis playing at the same time.
Algorithmic music is also one possible approach here. You could have an algorithm randomly explore the pitch space of the Over the Hedge scale. You could even use sensors to measure the electrical activity of a plant's leaves, and use that to control a modular synthesizer tuned to the Over the Hedge scale: you could have the Over the Hedge scale be played by an ''actual hedge''.
