The diatonic [[major triad]], which is 0–6–10 steps, is quite [[dissonant]] compared to [[4:5:6]], as the major third is over 37 cents sharp from the traditional [[5/4]], and is instead closer to [[9/7]] or [[14/11]]. Instead, a different construction based on the [[2.3.7 subgroup|2.3.7-subgroup]] follows naturally from its [[support]] of [[superpyth]], and may be preferred. Such chords include the tetrads [[6:7:8:9]] and its utonal inverse, realized in 17edo as 0–4–7–10 and 0–3–6–10, respectively, in addition to the sus2-4 chord, realized as 0–3–7–10. Possible chromatic alterations include but are not limited to an approximation of 12:13:16:18, 0–2–7–10, and an approximation of 8:9:11:12, ~~0–3–7–10~~. It is important to note that the chromatic semitone in 17edo is 2 steps, rather than 1 step as in [[12edo]] or [[19edo]]. Similarly, the fourth-spanning triad [[6:7:8]] and its inverse can be used, with their wide voicing realized in 17edo as 0–14–27 and 0–13–27, respectively. Extensions of these chords include 0–12–14–27, representing 8:13:14:24, and 0–13–15–27, representing 7:12:13:21.

Since the intervals of the 2.3.7-subgroup cluster around [[5edo]], a [[pentatonic]] system of interval classification may be preferred over the [[heptatonic]] one, with [[7/6]] becoming a major interval and [[8/7]]~[[9/8]] becoming a minor one.
