===The tetrachords===  
===17edo primary tetrachords===  
 
We have 9 primary tetrachords in 17edo.

===17edo tetrachords complete===
A more generalized tetrachord system would allow multiple seconds or multiple thirds: for instance, 1-1-5 or 5-1-1. Thus, a complete chart of 17edo tetrachords looks like this (with primary tetrachords in bold):
 
|| 1-1-5 || 2-1-4 || **3-1-3** || 4-1-2 || 5-1-1 ||
|| 1-2-4 || **2-2-3** || **3-2-2** || 4-2-1 ||  ||

|| **1-4-2** || **2-4-1** ||  ||  ||  ||
|| **1-5-1** ||  ||  ||  ||  ||
Thus, by allowing multiples seconds or multiple thirds, we add 6 new tetrachords to our 9 primary tetrachords, for a total of 15. Our new ones:

IMPORTED REVISION FROM WIKISPACES

This is an imported revision from Wikispaces. The revision metadata is included below for reference:

This revision was by author Andrew_Heathwaite and made on 2009-04-30 01:22:48 UTC.
The original revision id was 70554107.
The revision comment was:

The revision contents are below, presented both in the original Wikispaces Wikitext format, and in HTML exactly as Wikispaces rendered it.

Original Wikitext content:

Let a "17edo primary tetrachord" mean a set of four pitches in [[17edo]] that span a perfect fourth (seven degrees) and include one of each of the following:

# the unison - 0 (degrees of 17edo) - solfege name 'do'.
# a second - includes 1 (ra, a minor second), 2 (ru, a neutral second), and 3 (re, a major second).
# a third - includes 4 (me, a minor third), 5 (mu, a neutral third), and 6 (mi, a major third).
# the perfect fourth - 7 (fa).

===correspondance:=== 
|| degrees || cents || name || solfege ||
|| 0 || 0 || unison || do ||
|| 1 || 71 || minor second (a.k.a third-tone) || ra ||
|| 2 || 141 || neutral second (a.k.a. two-thirds-tone) || ru ||
|| 3 || 212 || major second (a.k.a. tone) || re ||
|| 4 || 282 || minor third (a.k.a. subminor third) || me ||
|| 5 || 353 || neutral third || mu ||
|| 6 || 424 || major third (a.k.a. supermajor third) || mi ||
|| 7 || 494 || perfect fourth || fa ||

===tetrachord notation=== 

Tetrachord notation will show three scalar steps (as degrees of 17edo) separated by hyphens.

For instance, tetrachord 3-3-1 consists of
0 (do), the unison;
3 (re), a major second, 3 degrees up from 0;
6 (mi), a major third, 3 degrees up from 3; and
7 (fa), the perfect fourth, 1 degree up from 6.

The numbers in a tetrachord name will always add to 7.

===17edo primary tetrachords=== 

We have 9 primary tetrachords in 17edo.

|| tetrachord notation || solfege || name (suggestions?) || used in ||
|| 1-3-3 || do ra me fa || phyrgian || diatonic (phrygian) ||
|| 1-4-2 || do ra mu fa ||   ||   ||
|| 1-5-1 || do ra mi fa || balkan ||   ||
|| 2-2-3 || do ru me fa ||   || [[17edo neutral scale]] (led) ||
|| 2-3-2 || do ru mu fa ||   || [[17edo neutral scale]] (bish, fish, jwl) ||
|| 2-4-1 || do ru mi fa ||   ||   ||
|| 3-1-3 || do re me fa || aolian || diatonic (aolian, dorian) ; [[scorp]] (mode 3) ||
|| 3-2-2 || do re mu fa ||   || [[17edo neutral scale]] (dril, gil, kleeth) ||
|| 3-3-1 || do re mi fa || ionian || diatonic (ionian, mixolydian) ||

Another way of showing them:
||   || ra || ru || re ||
|| me || 1-3-3 || 2-2-3 || 3-1-3 ||
|| mu || 1-4-2 || 2-3-2 || 3-2-2 ||
|| mi || 1-5-1 || 2-4-1 || 3-3-1 ||

===17edo tetrachords complete=== 
A more generalized tetrachord system would allow multiple seconds or multiple thirds: for instance, 1-1-5 or 5-1-1. Thus, a complete chart of 17edo tetrachords looks like this (with primary tetrachords in bold):

|| 1-1-5 || 2-1-4 || **3-1-3** || 4-1-2 || 5-1-1 ||
|| 1-2-4 || **2-2-3** || **3-2-2** || 4-2-1 ||   ||
|| **1-3-3** || **2-3-2** || **3-3-1** ||   ||   ||
|| **1-4-2** || **2-4-1** ||   ||   ||   ||
|| **1-5-1** ||   ||   ||   ||   ||
Thus, by allowing multiples seconds or multiple thirds, we add 6 new tetrachords to our 9 primary tetrachords, for a total of 15. Our new ones:

|| tetrachord notation || solfege || name (suggestions?) || used in ||
|| 1-1-5 || do ra ru fa ||   ||   ||
|| 1-2-4 || do ra re fa ||   ||   ||
|| 2-1-4 || do ru re fa ||   ||   ||
|| 4-1-2 || do me mu fa ||   ||   ||
|| 4-2-1 || do me mi fa ||   ||   ||
|| 5-1-1 || do mu mi fa ||   ||   ||

<!-- ws:start:WikiTextHeadingRule:2:&lt;h3&gt; --><h3 id="toc1"><a name="x--tetrachord notation"></a><!-- ws:end:WikiTextHeadingRule:2 -->tetrachord notation</h3>
 <br />
Tetrachord notation will show three scalar steps (as degrees of 17edo) separated by hyphens.<br />
<br />
For instance, tetrachord 3-3-1 consists of<br />
0 (do), the unison;<br />
3 (re), a major second, 3 degrees up from 0;<br />
6 (mi), a major third, 3 degrees up from 3; and<br />
7 (fa), the perfect fourth, 1 degree up from 6.<br />
<br />
The numbers in a tetrachord name will always add to 7.<br />
<br />

We have 9 primary tetrachords in 17edo.<br />

 A more generalized tetrachord system would allow multiple seconds or multiple thirds: for instance, 1-1-5 or 5-1-1. Thus, a complete chart of 17edo tetrachords looks like this (with primary tetrachords in bold):<br />

Thus, by allowing multiples seconds or multiple thirds, we add 6 new tetrachords to our 9 primary tetrachords, for a total of 15. Our new ones:<br />
