Each step of 72edo is called a ''[[morion]]'' (plural ''moria)''. This produces a twelfth-tone tuning, with the whole tone measuring 200 cents, the same as in [[12edo]]. 72edo is also a superset of [[24edo]], a common and standard tuning of [[Arabic, Turkish, Persian music|Arabic music]], and has itself been used to tune Turkish music.

Composers that used 72edo include [[Ivan Wyschnegradsky]], [[Julián Carrillo]] (who is better associated with [[96edo]]), [[Georg Friedrich Haas]], [[Ezra Sims]], [[Rick Tagawa]], [[James Tenney]], and the jazz musician [[Joe Maneri]].

72edo approximates [[11-limit]] [[just intonation]] exceptionally well. It is [[consistent]] in the [[17-odd-limit]] and is the ninth [[zeta integral edo. It is the first [[trivial temperament|non-trivial]] [[edo]] to be consistent in the 12- and 13-[[odd prime sum limit|odd-prime-sum-limit]]. It is the first edo to be [[Minimal consistent EDOs|accurately consistent]]{{idiosyncratic}} and [[Minimal consistent EDOs|distinctly accurate]]{{idiosyncratic}} in the [[11-odd-limit]].  
72edo approximates [[11-limit]] [[just intonation]] exceptionally well. It is [[consistent]] in the [[17-odd-limit]] and is the ninth [[zeta integral edo]]. It is the second edo (after [[58edo|58]]) to be [[consistency|distinctly consistent]] in the [[11-odd-limit]], the first edo to be [[consistency|consistent to distance 2]] in the 11-odd-limit, and the first edo to be consistent in the 12- and 13-[[odd prime sum limit|odd-prime-sum-limit]].  


The octave, fifth and fourth are the same size as they would be in 12edo, 72, 42 and 30 steps respectively, but the classic major third ([[5/4]]) measures 23 steps, not 24, and other [[5-limit]] major intervals are one step flat of 12edo while minor ones are one step sharp. The septimal minor seventh ([[7/4]]) is 58 steps, while the undecimal semiaugmented fourth ([[11/8]]) is 33.

72edo is the only regular temperament which treats harmonics 24 to 28 as being equidistant in pitch, splits [[25/24]] into two equal [[49/48]][[~]][[50/49]]'s, splits [[28/27]] into two equal [[55/54]]~[[56/55]]'s, ''and'' tunes the octave just. It is also an excellent tuning for [[miracle]] temperament, especially the 11-limit version, and the related rank-3 temperament [[prodigy]], and is a good tuning for other temperaments and scales, including [[wizard]], [[harry]], [[catakleismic]], [[compton]], [[unidec]] and [[tritikleismic]].

The 13th harmonic (octave reduced) is so closely mapped on [[acoustic phi]] that 72edo could be treated as a 2.3.5.7.11.ϕ.17 temperament.

=== Octave stretch ===
72edo's approximations of harmonics 3, 5, 7, 11, 13 and 17 can all be improved by slightly [[stretched and compressed tuning|stretching the octave]], using tunings such as [[114edt]] or [[186ed6]]. 114edt is quite hard and might be best for the 13- or 17-limit specifically. 186ed6 is milder and less disruptive, suitable for 11-limit and/or full 19-limit harmonies.


=== Subsets and supersets ===

Since 72 factors into 2<sup>3</sup> × 3<sup>2</sup>, 72edo has subset edos {{EDOs| 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 12, 18, 24, and 36 }}. [[144edo]], which doubles it, provides a possible correction to its approximate harmonic 13.

=== Ups and downs notation ===
72edo 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}}
 
=== Sagittal notation ===
This notation uses the same sagittal sequence as EDOs [[65edo#Sagittal notation|65-EDO]] and [[79edo#Sagittal notation|79]], and is a superset of the notations for EDOs [[36edo#Sagittal notation|36]], [[24edo#Sagittal notation|24]], [[18edo#Sagittal notation|18]], [[12edo#Sagittal notation|12]], [[8edo#Sagittal notation|8]], and [[6edo#Sagittal notation|6]].

72edo is the ninth [[The Riemann Zeta Function and Tuning #Zeta EDO lists|zeta integral edo]], as well as being a peak and gap edo, and the maximum value of the [[The Riemann Zeta Function and Tuning #The Z function|Z function]] in the region near 72 occurs at 71.9506, giving an octave of 1200.824 cents, the stretched octaves of the zeta tuning. Below is a plot of Z in the region around 72.

If one can get six 12edo instruments tuned a twelfth-tone apart, it is possible to use these instruments in combination to play the full gamut of 72edo (see Music).


If one can get six 12edo instruments tuned a twelfth-tone apart, it is possible to use these instruments in combination to play the full gamut of 72edo (see Music).
One can also use a skip fretting system:
