-'''1 equal division of 237.8¢''' ('''1ed237.8c'''), also known as '''arithmetic pitch sequence of 237.8¢''' ('''APS237.8¢'''), is an [[Equal|equal]] [[nonoctave|nonoctave]] scale generated by making a continuous chain of intervals of exactly 237.8¢. It is almost exactly [[8edt]], but retuned to have a slightly more acceptable pseudo-[[octave]]. It could be seen as a compromise between 8edt and [[5edo]], though leaning heavily towards [[8edt]].

+It can also be thought of as '''1ed187/163''' as [[187/163]] equals 237.800 cents.
+==Methodology==
+[[Budjarn Lambeth]] arrived at this scale by looking at every possible 1ed23x.y¢ and 1ed24x.y¢ in [[Scale Workshop]], noodling in each of them, adjusting the [[generator]] up and down by 0.1-cent increments until he found the one that sounded most pleasing to his ear.
