37edo is the 10th [[No-threes subgroup temperaments|no-3]] zeta [[Zeta peak edo|peak]] edo, containing very accurate approximations of harmonics [[5/1|5]], [[7/1|7]], [[11/1|11]] and [[13/1|13]]. It has an extremely accurate harmonic 11, being only 0.03 cents sharp.
37edo has very accurate approximations of harmonics [[5/1|5]], [[7/1|7]], [[11/1|11]] and [[13/1|13]], making it a good choice for a [[no-threes subgroup temperaments|no-threes]] approach. Harmonic 11 is particularly accurate, being only 0.03 cents sharp.


Using its best (and sharp) fifth, 37edo tempers out 250/243, making it a variant of [[porcupine]] temperament. It is the [[optimal patent val]] for [[Porcupine family #Porcupinefish|porcupinefish]], which is about as accurate as 13-limit porcupine extensions will be. Using its alternative flat fifth, it tempers out [[16875/16384]], making it a [[negri]] tuning. It also tempers out 2187/2000, resulting in a temperament where three minor whole tones make up a fifth ([[gorgo]]/[[laconic]]).

37edo is also a very accurate equal tuning for [[undecimation]] temperament, which has a [[generator]] of about 519 cents; 2 generators lead to 29/16; 3 generators to 32/13; 6 generators to a 10 cent sharp 6/1; 8 generators to a very accurate 11/1 and 10 generators to 20/1. It has a [[7L 2s]] enneatonic [[mos]], which in 37edo scale degrees is 0, 1, 6, 11, 16, 17, 22, 27, 32, a scale structure reminiscent of mavila; as well as a 16-note mos.

In the no-3 [[13-odd-limit]], [[37edo]] maintains the smallest relative error of any EDO until [[851edo]], and the smallest absolute error until [[103edo]].

37edo has great potential as a near-just xenharmonic system, with high-prime chords such as 8:10:11:13:14 with no perfect fifths available for common terrestrial progressions. The 9/8 approximation is usable but introduces error. One may choose to treat either of the intervals close to 3/2 as 3/2, introducing additional approximations with considerable error (see interval table below).

=== No-3 approach ===
If prime 3 is ignored, 37edo represents the no-3 23-odd-limit consistently, and is distinctly consistent within the no-3 16-integer-limit.

===Sagittal notation===
37edo can be notated with ups and downs, spoken as up, dup, trup, dudsharp, downsharp, sharp, upsharp etc. and down, dud, trud, dupflat etc.
{{Sharpness-sharp6a}}
 
Half-sharps and half-flats can be used to avoid triple arrows:
{{Sharpness-sharp6b}}
 
[[Alternative symbols for ups and downs notation#Sharp-6| Alternative ups and downs]] have sharps and flats with arrows borrowed from extended [[Helmholtz–Ellis notation]]:
{{Sharpness-sharp6}}
 
If double arrows are not desirable, arrows can be attached to quarter-tone accidentals:
{{Sharpness-sharp6-qt}}
 
=== Ivan Wyschnegradsky's notation ===
Since a sharp raises by six steps, Wyschnegradsky accidentals borrowed from [[72edo]] can also be used:
 
{{Sharpness-sharp6-iw}}
 
=== Sagittal notation ===
This notation uses the same sagittal sequence as EDOs [[23edo#Second-best fifth notation|23b]], [[30edo#Sagittal notation|30]], and [[44edo#Sagittal notation|44]].
This notation uses the same sagittal sequence as EDOs [[23edo#Second-best fifth notation|23b]], [[30edo#Sagittal notation|30]], and [[44edo#Sagittal notation|44]].
