55 equal divisions of the octave (abbreviated 55edo or 55ed2), also called 55-tone equal temperament (55tet) or 55 equal temperament (55et) when viewed under a regular temperament perspective, is the tuning system that divides the octave into 55 equal parts of about 21.8 ¢ each. Each step represents a frequency ratio of 21/55, or the 55th root of 2.

Theory

55edo can be used for a meantone tuning, and is close to 1/6-comma meantone (and is almost exactly 10/57-comma meantone). Telemann suggested it as a theoretical basis for analyzing the intervals of meantone. Leopold and Wolfgang Mozart recommended 55edo or something close to it, with a subset and further approximation used for keyboard instruments which (apart from an experimental instrument) did not have enough notes per octave to accommodate it in full.[1] It can also be used for Mohajira and Liese temperaments. It also supports an extremely sharp tuning of Huygens/undecimal meantone using the 55de val, meaning that primes 7 and 11 are mapped very sharply to their second-best mapping.

Notation

Ups and downs notation

55edo can be notated with ups and downs, spoken as up, dup, downsharp, sharp, upsharp etc. and down, dud, upflat etc. Note that dup is equivalent to dudsharp and dud is equivalent to dupflat.
