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. =Compositions= Nocturne in 9tet by Daniel Wolf [[http://www.h-pi.com/mp3/Prelude9ET.mp3|Prelude in 9ET]] by Aaron Andrew Hunt
