18edt means the division of the tritave into 18 equal parts of size 105.664 cents each. It has a decent 7 and an excellent 13, but a 5 which is 39 cents flat; if octaves were added and it was a sixth, it would count as a neutral sixth. The corresponding 5/3 is 845 cents, which is a neutral sixth between 8/5 and 5/3, which is really more of a 13/8, though this is allegedly a no-twos tuning. With octaves added, it also has a minor third and a major tenth which are both excellent as well as a minor thirteenth and major seventeenth which are still decent even though it skips actual octaves (in fact it is the non-octave semitone scale of 34edo). On the 3.7.13 subgroup it tempers out 351/343 and 2197/2187.

'''18edt''' is the division of the tritave into 18 equal parts of size 105.664 cents each. It has a decent 7 and an excellent 13, but a 5 which is 39 cents flat; if octaves were added and it was a sixth, it would count as a neutral sixth. The corresponding 5/3 is 845 cents, which is a neutral sixth between 8/5 and 5/3, which is really more of a 13/8, though this is allegedly a no-twos tuning. With octaves added, it also has a minor third and a major tenth which are both excellent as well as a minor thirteenth and major seventeenth which are still decent even though it skips actual octaves (in fact it is the non-octave semitone scale of 34edo). On the 3.7.13 subgroup it tempers out 351/343 and 2197/2187.


As the double of [[9edt]], it is the analog of 14edo insofar as it has a doubled harmonic chain. However, it, like [[8edt]], is not schismatic because 3:5:7 is a redundant chord. As a multiple of 9edt, it is the widest variety of 'White-Extraterrestrial-Tree' temperament.

As the double of [[9edt]], it is the analog of 14edo insofar if treating as it has a doubled harmonic chain. However, it, like [[8edt]], is not schismatic because 3:5:7 is a redundant chord. As a multiple of 9edt, it is the widest variety of 'White-Extraterrestrial-Tree' temperament.


18edt can also be used for the [[Electra]] temperament based on [[15/11]], although in this case its approximation to [[13/11]] is very sharp.
