IMPORTED REVISION FROM WIKISPACES
This is an imported revision from Wikispaces. The revision metadata is included below for reference:

- The revision comment was:
The revision contents are below, presented both in the original Wikispaces Wikitext format, and in HTML exactly as Wikispaces rendered it.
Original Wikitext content:
"Macrotonal" may mean "containing no steps the size of a semitone or smaller". If we use the 12edo semitone as a standard, that would mean no steps larger than 100 cents. Any scale that fits that simple constraint could be called a macrotonal scale. Some possible further constraints on a macrotonal scale: * [[macrotonal edos|macrotonal edo]] - a scale built from equal divisions of the octave with fewer divisions than 12. This is a finite set of 11 scales. ** [[1edo]], [[2edo]], [[3edo]], [[4edo]], [[5edo]], [[6edo]], [[7edo]], [[8edo]], [[9edo]], [[10edo]], [[11edo]] * [[macrotonal edonois|macrotonal edonoi]] - a scale built from equal divisions of a non-octave interval (each of which measures larger than 100 cents). This is an infinite set. ** eg. [[BP|Bohlen-Pierce]], [[square root of 13 over 10|square root of 13:10]] , [[6edf|6th root of 3:2]] .... * macrotonal non-equal - another infinite set. The traditional pentatonic scale of [[2L 3s]] (such as you might find on the black keys of the piano) is one easy example. Also: ** 9-note [[Semicomma family|Orwell]], [[17edo neutral scale]], overtones 5-10, [[pelog]] & [[slendro]]....
