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.
