EDONOI is short for "equal divisions of non-octave intervals".
#redirect [[Equal-step tuning#Edonoi]]


Examples include the equal-tempered [[BP|Bohlen-Pierce scale]] (a.k.a. the 13th root of 3), [[Carlos_Alpha|Carlos Alpha]], [[Carlos_Beta|Carlos Beta]], [[Carlos_Gamma|Carlos Gamma]], the [[19ED3|19th root of 3]], the [[6edf|6th root of 3:2]] , [[88cET|88cET]] and the [[square_root_of_13_over_10|square root of 13:10]] .

Some EDONOI contain an interval close to a 2:1 that might function like a stretched or squashed octave. They can thus be considered variations on [[EDO|edo]]s.
[[Category:Acronyms]]
 
Other EDONOI contain no approximation of an octave or a compound octave (at least, not for a while), and continue generating new tones as they continue upward or downward. Such scales lack a very familiar compositional [[redundancy|redundancy]], that of octave equivalence, and thus require special attention.
