2019 equal divisions of the octave (abbreviated 2019edo or 2019ed2), also called 2019-tone equal temperament (2019tet) or 2019 equal temperament (2019et) when viewed under a regular temperament perspective, is the tuning system that divides the octave into 2019 equal parts of about 0.594 ¢ each. Each step represents a frequency ratio of 21/2019, or the 2019th root of 2.

Theory

2019edo is excellent in the 7-limit, and with such small errors it supports a noticeable amount of very high accuracy temperaments. While it is consistent in the 11-odd-limit, there is a large relative error on the representation of the 11th harmonic.

In higher limits, it tunes 23/16 and 59/32 with the comparable relative accuracy to the 2.3.5.7 subgroup (less than 7% error). A comma basis for the 2.3.5.7.23.59 subgroup is {14337/14336, 25921/25920, 250047/250000, 48234496/48234375, 843396867/843308032}.
