The harmonic segment 6::12 (also harmonics 6–12) consists of harmonics 6 through 12 (6:7:8:9:10:11:12) and spans one octave above the root. Used as a scale, it is also called mode 6 of the harmonic series. In its root position, it is an effective system that contains several useful intervals such as 7/6, 4/3 and 3/2, although it lacks a major third.
