Division of 5/4 into equal parts does not necessarily imply directly using this interval as an [[equivalence]]. The question of equivalence is still in its infancy. The utility of 5/4 as a base though, is apparent by providing a novel consonance after 3, and being the [[octave reduction|octave-reduced]] basis for [[5-limit]] harmony. Many, if not all, ~~of these~~ scales have a perceptually important ~~pseudo (~~false) octave, with various degrees of accuracy.

Division of 5/4 into equal parts does not necessarily imply directly using this interval as an [[equivalence]]. Many, though not all, ed5/4 scales have a perceptually important [[Pseudo-octave|false octave]], with various degrees of accuracy.

~~5/4 is particularly narrow as far as equivalences go and it is difficult to fit consonant chords in it, so we might consider using 5/4<sup>2</sup> = [[25/16]] as the equivalence instead~~.

ED5/4 tuning systems that accurately represent the intervals 10/9 and 9/8 include: [[17ed5/4]] (0.61 cent error), [[19ed5/4]] (0.59 cent error), and [[36ed5/4]] (0.02 cent error).
