101ed7 is closely related to [[36edo]] (sixth-tone tuning), but with the 7th harmonic rather than the [[2/1|octave]] being just. The octave is stretched by about 0.770 [[cent]]s. Like 36edo, 101ed7 is [[consistent]] to the [[integer limit|8-integer-limit]].

101ed7 is closely related to [[36edo]] (sixth-tone tuning), but with the 7th harmonic rather than the [[2/1|octave]] being just. The octave is stretched by about 0.770 [[cent]]s (almost identical to [[93ed6]], where the octave is stretched by about 0.757 cents). Like 36edo, 101ed7 is [[consistent]] to the [[integer limit|8-integer-limit]].

Compared to 36edo, 101ed7~~'s harmonics are almost exactly~~ the ~~same~~, ~~but it has a~~ slightly better [[3/1|3]], [[7/1|7]], ~~and~~ [[13/1|13]], and a slightly worse 2 ~~and~~ [[5/1|5]] ~~versus 36edo~~. Overall this means 36edo is still better in the [[5-limit]], but 101ed7 is better in the [[13-limit~~]]. (The [[7~~-~~limit~~]] and [[11-limit]] ~~could go either way.)~~

Compared to 36edo, 101ed7 is pretty well optimized for the 2.3.7.13.17 [[subgroup]], with slightly better [[3/1|3]], [[7/1|7]], [[13/1|13]] and [[17/1|17]], and a slightly worse 2 versus 36edo. Using the [[patent val]], the [[5/1|5]] is also less accurate. Overall this means 36edo is still better in the [[5-limit]], but 101ed7 is better in the [[13-limit|13-]] and [[17-limit]], especially when treating it as a dual-5 dual-11 tuning.

~~36edo's 5-limit dominance flips on its head, though, if one approaches it as a [[dual-n|dual-5]] tuning. In that case~~, ~~the fact that 101ed7's 5/1 is closer to 50% relative error is actually a ''good'' thing, because~~ it ~~means the error on the worse of the two 5/1's is less. So as a single-5 5-limit tuning, 36edo is better. But as a dual-5 5-limit tuning, 101ed7 is better, and~~ as a dual-5, dual-11 ~~[[31-limit]]~~ tuning~~, 101ed7 is exceptional for its size. It is very accurate~~.
