18edf corresponds to [[31edo]] with an [[octave stretching]] of about 9 [[cent]]s. Consequently, it does not provide 31edo's good approximations of most low harmonics, but it provides good approximations to many simple ratios in the thirds region: subminor [[7/6]] (+6{{cent}}), minor [[6/5]] (-3{{cent}}), neutral [[11/9]] (+4{{cent}}), major [[5/4]] (+4{{cent}}), and supermajor [[9/7]] (-6{{cent}}). These intervals may be used to form a variety of [[triad]]s and [[tetrad]]s in close harmony along with the tuning's pure fifth. | 18edf corresponds to [[31edo]] with an [[octave stretching]] of about 9 [[cent]]s.

In comparison, [[20edf]] (and [[Carlos Gamma]]) offers more accurate pental (minor and major) and undecimal (neutral) thirds, but less accurate septimal (subminor and supermajor) thirds. | |||
