Of course, as in scales derived from the full series, there is nothing that says one must start at the beginning of the series or include consecutive members only. The possibilities are endless.

The prime heptatonic scale can be notated like this:


Let’s look more closely at the prime dodecatonic scale. It can also be notated thusly:
16:17:20:22:24:26:28:(32)
 
giving the following step sizes:
 
|| 17/16 || 20/17 || 22/20
(11/10) || 24/22
(12/11) || 26/24
(13/12) || 28/26
(14/13) || 32/28
(8/7) ||
|| 104.96 || 281.36 || 165 || 150.64 || 138.57 || 128.3 || 231.17 ||
 
The prime dodecatonic scale can be notated:


32:34:37:38:40:44:46:48:52:56:58:62:(64)
32:34:37:38:40:44:46:48:52:56:58:62:(64)


This way, it is easy to compute the step sizes:
giving these step sizes:


|| 34/32  
|| 34/32
