The compdye scale pattern is a 24-note ternary pattern that can be made by taking a 12-note Pythagorean scale and cloning it with an offset of 81/80~64/63. It can be notated as 5L7m12s, and it is notable in aberrismic theory due to its relatively accurate tempering of the first 12 to 16 harmonics. In 11-limit pele temperament, the pattern contains the harmonic segment 1::12, and in 13-limit pentafrost temperament, it contains 1::16. 41edo is a good choice to tune compdye to, since it supports both pele and pentafrost, but it can also be found in other edos such as 46 and 58.
