Original Wikitext content:

The 9EDO scale, which divides the octave into nine equal parts each of 133 1/3 cents precisely, has the peculiar property of representing certain [[Harmonic Limit|7-limit]] intervals almost exactly. A 7-limit version of 9EDO goes

1: 27/25 133.238 large limma, BP small semitone
2: 7/6 266.871 septimal minor third
3: 63/50 400.108 quasi-equal major third
4: 49/36 533.742 Arabic lute acute fourth
5: 72/49 666.258 Arabic lute grave fifth
6: 100/63 799.892 quasi-equal minor sixth
7: 12/7 933.129 septimal major sixth
8: 50/27 1066.762 grave major seventh
9: 2/1 1200.000 octave

Here the characterizations are taken from [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scala_%28program%29|Scala]], which also describes the scale itself as "Pelog Nawanada: Sunda". Chords such as 1-7/6-49/36-12/7 are therefore natural ones for 9EDO. The above scale generates the [[Just intonation subgroups|just intonation subgroup]] [2, 27/25, 7/3], which is closely related to 9EDO.

9EDO contains a pentatonic [[MOSScales|MOS scale]] -- 2L 3s (1 3 1 3 1) -- with a heptatonic extension -- 2L 5s (1 1 2 1 1 2 1, sometimes called "mavila" or "antidiatonic"). Indonesian pelog scales sometimes use five-tone subsets of a seven-tone superset in a similar way, and it has been suggested that Indonesian gamelan music stems from a [[http://www.neuroscience-of-music.se/pelog%20historical.htm|9EDO tradition]].

==Commas== 
9 EDO tempers out the following commas. (Note: This assumes val < 9 14 21 25 31 33 |.)
