Original Wikitext content:
<span style="font-size: 19.5px;">Division of a ninth (e. g. 9/4) into n equal parts</span> Division of e. g. the 9:4 into equal parts can be conceived of as to directly use this interval as an equivalence, or not. The question of [[equivalence]] has not even been posed yet. The utility of 9:4 or another ninth as a base though, is apparent by being the standard replacement for the root in jazz piano voicings. Many, though not all, of these scales have a pseudo (false) octave, with various degrees of accuracy, but which context(s), if any, it is very perceptually important in is as yet an open question. Incidentally, one way to treat 9/4 as an equivalence is the use of the 4:5:6:7:[8]:(9) chord as the fundamental complete sonority in a very similar way to the 4:5:6:(8) chord in meantone. Whereas in meantone it takes four 3/2 to get to 5/1, here it takes three 5/4 backwards or eight forwards to get to 7/6 (tempering out the comma 875/864 or 390625/372072 or |-16 -6 11>) or three 7/6 to get between 6/5 and the period of 3/2 (tempering out the comma 1728/1715). So, doing this yields 8 or 10, 12 or 14, and 22 note 2MOS. While the notes are rather farther apart, the scheme is uncannily similar to the "equally" tempered shrutis. "Macroshrutis" might be a practically perfect term for it if it hasn't been named yet.
