Regular diatonic tuning 72-tone. A regular diatonic tuning is five "whole tones", T, and two half tones, S, arranged in any rotation of TTSTTTS. In 12-tone, T=200 cents and S=100 cents. In 72-tone, T=233.3 cents and S=16.6. This is that scale: C = 0 D = 233.3 E# = 466.6 F# = 483.3 G = 716.6 A = 950 B# = 1183.3 C = 1200
21-tet scale on C (57.14 cent steps). Easley Blackwood, Jr.'s notation for 21 equal temperament. Intervals are notated similarly to those they approximate and there are distinct enharmonic equivalents (E-sharp-down = F-down). MIDI pitch bend matches intervals.
16-tet scale on C (75 cent steps). Easley Blackwood, Jr.'s notation for 16 equal temperament. Intervals are notated similarly to those they approximate and there are fewer enharmonic equivalents. MIDI pitch bend appears to match intervals (0,56, etc.).
The opening theme to Rimsky-Korsakov's Scheherazade is, "simply a descending whole-tone scale with diatonic trimmings." See Abraham, Gerald. "The Whole-Tone Scale in Russian Music", p.602, The Musical Times, Vol. 74, No. 1085. (Jul., 1933), pp. 602-604.[non-whole-tone scale notes in red].
