Decent amount of harmonic resources are provided by a simple 9-note scale. [[Flora Canou]] commented:

14- and 19-note scales are also possible. See [[canou scales]] for more information.  


For tunings, a basic option would be [[99edo]]. Others such as [[80edo]], [[94edo]], and [[118edo]] are possible; [[19edo]] (perferably with stretched octaves) also provides a good trivial case, whereas the [[optimal patent val]] goes up to [[1131edo]], relating it to the [[amicable]] temperament.

The canou family of rank-3 temperaments tempers out the canousma, 4802000/4782969 = [4 -14 3 4, a 7-limit comma measuring about 6.9 cents.

Canou

The canou temperament features a period of an octave and generators of 3/2 and 81/70. The 81/70-generator is about 255 cents. Two of them interestingly make 980/729 at about 510 cents, an audibly off perfect fourth. Three make 14/9; four make 9/5. It therefore also features splitting the septimal diesis, 49/48, into three equal parts, making two distinct interseptimal intervals related to the 35th harmonic.

For tunings, a basic option would be 99edo. Others such as 80edo, 94edo, and 118edo are possible; 19edo (perferably with stretched octaves) also provides a good trivial case, whereas the optimal patent val goes up to 1131edo, relating it to the amicable temperament.

Semicanou

Semicanou adds 9801/9800, the kalisma, to the comma list, and may be described as 80 & 94 & 118. It splits the octave into two equal parts, each representing 99/70. Note that 99/70 = (81/70)×(11/9), this extension is more than natural.

The other comma necessary to define it is 14641/14580, the semicanousma, which is the difference between 121/120 and 243/242. By flattening the 11th harmonic by one cent, it identifies 20/11 by three 11/9's stacked, so an octave can be divided into 11/9-11/9-11/9-11/10.

Still 80edo, 94edo, and 118edo can be used as tunings. Other options include 104edo in 104c val.

Gentsemicanou

This adds 351/350, the ratwolfsma, as wells as 364/363, the gentle comma, to the comma list. Since 351/350 = (81/70)/(15/13), the 81/70-generator simultaneously represents 15/13, adding a lot of fun to the scale.

Not supported by many patent vals, 80edo easily makes the optimal. Yet 104edo in 104c val and 118edo in 118f val are worth mentioning, and the temperament may be described as 80 & 104c & 118f.

Canta

By adding 896/891, the pentacircle comma, 33/32 is equated with 28/27, so the scale is filled with this 33/32~28/27 mixture. This may be described as 75e & 80 & 99e, and 80edo makes the optimal.
