When using the scale on an isomorphic keyboard such as the [[Lumatone]] or [[Scale Workshop]], it is recommended to have one axis ascend by 1 step at a time, and the other axis ascend by 5 steps at a time.

You can have one instrument tuned to the moon dust scale, and another instrument tuned to any other over-7 primodal scale, and have them play simultaneously.

Some over-7 scales are listed on the following page:
Some good scales to combine it with in this way are:
{{Idiosyncratic terms}}
* Over-7 apex: 60/56 - 72/56 - 76/56 - 84/56 - 104/56 - 112/56
* Over-7 blues minor maj7: 66/56 - 76/56 - 79/56 - 84/56 - 106/56 - 112/56
* Over-7 cosmic: 76/56 - 84/56 - 89/56 - 100/56 - 112/56
 
One can also try any of the over-7 scales are listed on the following page:

Written as an enumerated chord, the moon dust scale is:
* <small>56:68:76:84:126:133:154:196:224:252:308:336:504:532:616:784:896</small>
 
The moon dust scale occurs above the [[tonic]] in [[112afdo|the 112th mode of the harmonic series (112afdo)]]. (''See: [[overtone scale]] and [[harmonic series]]''.)

According to Lambeth, the moon dust scale sounds particularly nice in {{EDOs|24edo, 30edo, 31edo or 72edo}}.
