Today I found that, in 19edo, the kleismic scale has interval steps of 1 4 1 4 1 4 4.

By setting C as the tonic, that is C - Dbb - Eb - Fbb - Gb - Abbb - Bbb. (where the white keys are standard diatonic/meantone keys)

By 19edo enharmony, that's equivalent to C - C# - Eb - E - Gb - G - A#.

By parsing this as a 12edo scale, that becomes C - Db - Eb - Fb - Gb - Abb - Bb.

For this scale involves many flats, I choose the fifth mode: C - Db - E - F# - G - A - Bb. This is interval steps of 1 3 2 1 2 1 2.

So surprisingly, I ended up with Lydian b2 b7 scale.

But are there any example music on this scale? The triads in this scale are rather bizarre, involving some weird augmented chords that are enharmonic to other chords: C - F#m - Edim - F#dim - Gdim - Am - F#.

    Whereas each of the natural modes differs from then other natural modes by the subtlest difference (Dorian and Mixolydian by a single note), I fail to see why this particular scale is Lydian.it is no more a Lydian scale than a mixolydian or phrygian – nuggethead Feb 18 '23 at 13:09
  • @nuggethead It differs from Phrygian by 3 notes. It differs from Lydian dominant by just one note. Therefore, it should be called Lydian dominant ♭2. – mathlander Feb 18 '23 at 16:09
