Since the intervals of the 2.3.7-subgroup cluster around [[5edo]], a [[Pentatonic Functional Just System|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.

Of course, scales generated by the perfect fifth are not the only scales 17edo contains. Another type of scale is [[neutral third scales]], which are generated by half a fifth (5\17), and take the mos patterns [[4L 3s]] (mosh) and [[7L 3s]] (dicoid). Other notable scales include that of [[bleu]] (generated by 2\17), and [[skwares]] (generated by 6\17). Non-mos scales also exist; a more complete list can be found in the [[#Scales]] section.

Because the 5th harmonic is not well-approximated, using timbres with attenuated 5th harmonics (and its multiples) may reduce audible beating.
