A hobbled scale[idiosyncratic term] is a scale created by reducing exactly one step of an existing scale pattern by a single edo-step, typically resulting in a ternary scale that approximates the original pattern but fits into a different EDO. The term "hobbled" derives from the metaphor of "hobbling" one of the step "legs" to be shorter than the other, analogous to how hobbling an animal restricts its movement by shortening one leg. This concept was explored and refined as an effort of TOTYW2025 in the Xenharmonic Alliance Discord.
