'''42ed257/128''' is the [[Ed257/128|equal division of the interval 257/128]] into forty-two parts of 28.73 [[cents]] each, corresponding to ~41.77[[edo]].

42ed257/128 is a kind of opposite twin to the scale [[ed255/128#42ed255/128|42ed255/128]], as they improve 42edo’s [[JI]] approximation by about the same amount, but in opposite directions (those harmonics which are slightly sharp in one are slightly flat in the other).


42ed257/128 is a kind of opposite twin to the scale [[191zpi]]. 191zpi makes [[42edo]] into a better 2.3.5.11.13 tuning, while 42ed257/128 makes 42edo into a better 2.3.5.7.17 tuning. They both improve 42edo but in opposite directions.
42ed257/128’s step size is very close to that of [[1ed28.7c|APS720jot]] and [[zpi|189zpi]].


42ed257/128 is very similar to [[1ed28.7c|APS720jot]], which achieves many of the same aims. The difference is that 42ed257/128 has better harmonics 3, 5 and 7, while APS720jot has better harmonics 2, 11 and 13.
See [[Table of stretched 42edo tunings]] for more.
