User:Eufalesio/Good scales

Here's a data dump of scales I use. Some of them with funny names because they are in conlangs. I will provide the scales and all their modes, apart from other properties.

7-form

RH Zarlino [SV3, CS, SP]

Best Zarlino. I rarely use LH Zarlino.

Scale degrees
9/8	5/4	4/3	3/2	5/3	15/8	2

16/15	6/5	4/3	64/45	8/5	16/9

Aura's Zarlinoid [MV4, CS, SP]

A scale that Aura really likes to use. It's good in some places, but Zarlino is better generally.

Scale degrees
9/8	5/4	4/3	3/2	27/16	15/8	2
10/9	32/27	4/3	3/2	5/3	16/9

16/15	6/5	4/3	64/45	8/5	9/5

LH Úuñmulu - LH Íegmul [MV3, CS, SP]

An 7et detemper that is easy to use and has delectable sonorities, based on the 10::12 trichord.

Scale degrees
11/10	6/5	4/3	3/2	33/20	9/5	2
12/11	40/33	15/11	3/2	18/11	20/11

12/11	40/33	4/3	16/11	160/99	20/11
10/9	11/9	4/3	40/27	5/3	11/6

RH Úuñmulu - RH Íegmul [MV3, CS, P]

The simplest 7et detemper, based on the 9::12 tetrachord, that is also easy to use, but I prefer LH.

Scale degrees
10/9	11/9	4/3	3/2	5/3	11/6	2
11/10	6/5	27/20	3/2	33/20	9/5

12/11	40/33	4/3	16/11	18/11	20/11

10-form

Ngwóoghe - Góqäi [MV5 (MV10), CS, SP]

24:26:28:30:32:34:36:39:42:45:48. 12::18 repeated and cut at the octave, or alternatively, two 12::16 pentachords, with another a fifth up and with the addition of 17/12 to fill out the scale into a proper 10-form. I personally don't use the 17/ intervals as much, instead I change between the modes to pick what I need, but 17 is undoubtedly the most natural rendition of the 5-step of the scale.

One of my favorite scales, and it is notably no-11s. Its subsets also include archylino, a weird Hijaz-like scale and, you know, each other step of the prime mode. Whatever its name is.
