m seems to make sense in at least 43-limit if not barely also the 47-limit

The '''1920 division''' divides the octave into 1920 equal parts of exactly 0.625 cents each. It is distinctly [[consistent]] through the 25-odd-limit, and in terms of 23-limit [[Tenney-Euclidean temperament measures #TE simple badness|relative error]], only [[1578edo|1578]] and [[1889edo|1889]] are both smaller and with a lower relative error. In the 29-limit, only 1578 beats it, and in the 31-, 37-, 41-, 43- and 47-limit, nothing beats it. Because of this and because it is a very composite number divisible by 12, it is another candidate for [[interval size measure]].

== Theory ==
1920edo is [[consistency|distinctly consistent]] through the [[25-odd-limit]], and in terms of [[23-limit]] [[Tenney-Euclidean temperament measures #TE simple badness|relative error]], only [[1578edo|1578]] and [[1889edo|1889]] are both smaller and with a lower relative error. In the [[29-limit]], only 1578 beats it, and in the [[31-limit|31-]], [[37-limit|37-]], [[41-limit|41-]], [[43-limit|43-]] and [[47-limit]], nothing beats it. Because of this and because it is a very composite number divisible by 12, it is another candidate for [[interval size measure]].
 
As a micro- (or nano-) temperament, it is a [[landscape]] system in the [[7-limit]], [[tempering out]] [[250047/250000]], and in the [[11-limit]] it tempers out [[9801/9800]]. Beyond that, it tempers out [[10648/10647]] in the [[13-limit]]; [[5832/5831]] and [[14400/14399]] in the [[17-limit]]; [[4200/4199]], [[5985/5984]], and 6860/6859 in the [[19-limit]]; and [[3381/3380]] in the 23-limit.

=== Subsets and supersets ===
Since 1920 factors into {{nowrap| 2<sup>7</sup> × 3 × 5 }}, 1920edo has subset edos {{EDOs| 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 15, 16, 20, 24, 30, 32, 40, 48, 60, 64, 80, 96, 120, 128, 160, 192, 240, 320, 384, 480, 640, 960 }}.
 
== Regular temperament properties ==
1920edo has the lowest relative error in the 31-, 37-, 41-, and 47-limit.
