76 equal divisions of the 80th harmonic (abbreviated 76ed80) is a nonoctave tuning system that divides the interval of 80/1 into 76 equal parts of about 99.8 ¢ each. Each step represents a frequency ratio of 801/76, or the 76th root of 80.
Theory
The 80th harmonic is too wide to be a useful equivalence, so 76ed80 is better thought of as a compressed version of the ubiquitous 12edo. Indeed, tuning the 80/1 ratio just instead of 2/1 results in octaves being compressed by about 2.16 ¢. The local zeta peak around 12 is located at 12.023183, which has a step size of 99.807 ¢ and an octave of 1197.686 ¢, making 76ed80 extremely close to optimal for 12edo.
