This page collects temperaments with a period of 1/21 of an [[octave]].


Although 21edo itself is not remarkably accurate for low-complexity harmonics, some temperaments which are multiples of 21, such as {{EDOs|441, 1407, and 1848}} are. 441 and 1848 are also members of [[zeta]] edo list.

== Scandium ==
Described as the 525 & 1911 temperament, and named after the 21st element for splitting the octave into 21 parts. Coincidentally, ''Encyclopaedia Britannica'' entry for scandium was written in the year 1911 which was used as the reason for the naming. Remarkably, unlike akjayland or many temperaments in the thousands which contain 3edo as a subset, it is ''not'' a landscape system. [[39/32]] is mapped into 6\21 and [[23/16]] is, as usual, mapped into 11\21.

== Blackmagic ==
Blackmagic is the 63 & 84 temperament, merging two systems which cover many large primes. It was named by [[User:Overthink|Overthink]] in 2026 as a twist on "blackjack" (which itself already refers to the 21-note [[MOS scale|mos]] of [[miracle]]), as well as because of its higher-limit properties. {{Todo|review}}

Primes 17 and 19 could be included by mapping them to -1 and 1 generators respectively, though in practice this mapping only works in [[84edo]].

Vasca can be described as the 357 & 525 temperament, extended as high as the 23-limit. It tempers out the {{monzo| 95 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 -21 }}, and sets a stack of 21 [[23/16]]'s equal with 11 octaves. The name derives from elements vanadium (23) and scandium (21), since this uses the 23rd harmonic, which itself is extremely well represented in 21edo.
