==Hexadecaphonic Octave Theory==

The scale supports the diminished temperament with its 1/4 octave period, though its generator size, equal to its step size of 75 cents, is smaller than ideal. Its very flat 3/2 of 675 cents ~~supports~~ Mavila temperament, where the mapping of major and minor is reversed. The temperament could be popular for its 150-cent "3/4-tone" equal division of the traditional 300-cent minor third.

The scale supports the diminished temperament with its 1/4 octave period, though its generator size, equal to its step size of 75 cents, is smaller than ideal. Its very flat 3/2 of 675 cents [[support]]s Mavila temperament, where the mapping of major and minor is reversed. The temperament could be popular for its 150-cent "3/4-tone" equal division of the traditional 300-cent minor third.

16-EDO is also a tuning for the [[Jubilismic clan|no-threes 7-limit temperament tempering out 50/49]]. This has a period of a half-octave (600¢), and a generator of a flat septimal major 2nd, for which 16-EDO uses 3\16. For this, there are MOS scales of sizes 4, 6, and 10; extending this temperament to the full 7-limit can produce either Lemba or Astrology (16-EDO supports both, but is not a very accurate tuning of either).
