Runoff scales might be a useful concept because they are effectively scales with as few [[wolf interval]]s as possible. This means they are as safe as possible to noodle around on, to take random or arbitrary subsets of, and to explore with reckless abandon, with lessened risk of hitting an unusually sour note compared to other similar sized scales.

Runoff scales could be considered a type of [[omniconsonant scale]]~~, or at least a distant cousin to omniconsonant scales~~.

Runoff scales could be considered a type of [[omniconsonant scale]].

Calling a scale 'runoff' or 'non-runoff' only really makes sense if its largest step size is at least 30 [[cents]]: when all steps are smaller than that, every feature of the harmonic entropy graph is carpeted by notes, and the ''median'' entropy becomes about the same for every scale.
