The '''equal division of 11/4''' ('''ed11/4''') is a [[tuning]] obtained by dividing the [[11/4|undecimal semi-augmented eleventh (11/4)]] in a certain number of [[equal]] steps. | |||

Division of 11/4 into equal parts | Division of 11/4 into equal parts does not necessarily imply directly using this interval as an [[equivalence]]. Many, though not all, ed11/4 scales have a perceptually important [[Pseudo-octave|false octave]], with various degrees of accuracy. | ||
The structural utility of 11/4 is apparent by being central to much [[11-limit]] harmony, as well as being a fairly trivial point to split the difference between the [[octave]] and the [[tritave]]. | |||
[[Category: | One approach to ed11/4 tunings is the use of the 11:16:20 chord as the fundamental complete sonority in a very similar way to the 4:5:6 chord in [[meantone]]. Whereas in [[meantone]] a stack of four [[3/2]]'s is equated with [[5/1]], here a stack of four [[20/11]]'s is equated with [[16/11]], tempering out the comma 161051/160000 in the 4.5.11 subgroup. Doing this yields 5-, 7-, 12-, and 17-note [[mos scale]]s, coincidentally similar to [[Pythagorean tuning]]. | ||
