Theory
17ed4 contains 17edo's sharp fifth, and it can be used to generate heptatonic (3L 4s) and decatonic (7L 3s) MOS scales with a period of 4/1. The decatonic scale is the more usable of these two scales, corresponding to an octave-repeating pentatonic scale in terms of step sizes, while the heptatonic scale has too large step sizes, corresponding to an octave-repeating tritonic or tetratonic scale in terms of step sizes.
