Original Wikitext content:
=17 Tone Equal Divided Tritave= 17edt is closely related to the Bohlen-Pierce scale, I might go as far as call it an 11-limit version of it. Both have 4L+5s nonatonic modes, but whereas the ratio of large to small steps in BP is a calm 2:1, in 17edt it is a hard 3:1. Thus, the approximation of 5/3 and 7/3 suffers slightly, in return for a very good approximation of 11/9, which is in fact the size of the large step! Nifty right? If the major chord is defined by degrees 0,8,13 (fibonacci numbers, coincidence?), and a major chord is built atop the two chord tones, an hexatonic set of 0,4,8,9,13,16,17 results. Excluding #16 produces a LLsLL pentatonic scale. Continuing the trend by building major chords on the three new chord tones (4, 9, and 16) gives you a set of the notes 0,3,4,7,8,9,12,13,15,16,17. Excluding #15 produces a LsLssLsLs moment of symmetry, which is called "Moll I" or "Delta", if I'm not mistaken.
