17ed4 is the equal division of the double octave into 17 parts of 141.18 cents each, corresponding to 8.5edo or every second step of 17edo.
Theory
17ed4 is the smallest ED4 to contain a diatonic fifth, in this case 17edo's sharp fifth, and it can be used to generate heptatonic (3L 4s<4/1>) and decatonic (7L 3s<4/1>) 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.
