2000edo
| ← 1999edo | 2000edo | 2001edo → |
2000 equal divisions of the octave (abbreviated 2000edo or 2000ed2), also called 2000-tone equal temperament (2000tet) or 2000 equal temperament (2000et) when viewed under a regular temperament perspective, is the tuning system that divides the octave into 2000 equal parts of exactly 0.6 ¢ each. Each step represents a frequency ratio of 21/2000, or the 2000th root of 2.
Theory
2000edo is distinctly consistent through the 29-odd-limit and a strong no-31's 41-limit system; the only smaller edo with a smaller 29-limit relative error being 1578edo. The only ones superior to it in the 23-limit are 1578- and 1889edo, and in the 19-limit, nothing smaller defeats it.

Subsets and supersets
2000 = 24 × 53, and its nontrivial divisors are 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 16, 20, 25, 40, 50, 80, 100, 125, 200, 250, 400, 500, 1000. From these, 1000edo is notable because it carries the interval size measure millioctave. It is argued that cutting millioctaves in half makes for a better interval measuring system, in light of 2000edo's high consistency limit, which introduces just interval approximations not present in 1000edo. In addition, 2000edo inherits its fifth from 200edo, where it is semiconvergent.
Regular temperament properties
2000edo has the smallest relative error than any previous equal temperaments in the 19-limit. It is only bettered by 2460edo.
