== Porcutone hyperchromatic scales ==
Maybe you have a Lumatone, and you're wondering, ok so you can either have sharps or flats? Por queno los dos?
The resulting scales don't have nice properties like the others, but it's helpful to have both sharps and flats. The concept is simple. We add the porcutone pentatonics both on G♭, and on F♯, resulting in a 17-note scale containing both the right and left handed porcutone octatonics.
The resulting step pattern of the scales is s(L-s)sLs(L-s)sm(L-m)ms(L-s)sLs(L-s)s. Note there are 5 different step sizes.
We might want to add in another two notes for E♯ or F♭ and B♯  or C♭. We'll call L-s 'D' (for large diminished) and L-m 'd' (for small diminished), resulting in 19-note scales with 4 step sizes:
sDsDssDsmdmsDsDssDs with F♭ and C♭, or sDssDsDsmdmsDssDsDs with E♯ and B♯, or sDsDssDsmdmsDssDsDs with E♯ and C♭. D is the largest step, at 111.924c, followed by d at 76.009c, then by m (66.766c) and s (30.852c).
We will call these scales the left handed, right handed, and symmetric porcutone hyperchromatic scales respectively.
