== Theory ==
There are two different mappings of the 11-limit. One is just called ''pajara'' and is slightly more complex but suffers almost no loss of accuracy compared to the 7-limit. It is best tuned flat of 22edo. The other, called ''pajarous'' to avoid confusion, maps the 11th harmonic slightly simpler, but 22edo is the only [[11-odd-limit]] [[diamond monotone]] tuning, where primes [[3/1|3]] and [[5/1|5]] are less accurate than in optimal tunings of canonical 11-limit pajara.
''Notes: Excellent odd harmonics 7, 15, 23, 29, 31, 33, 39, 43, all derived from 84edo; less accurate but still usable 17, 19, 27; also note 3*21 subgroup from 63edo''


21edo contains three [[7edo]] "equiheptatonic" scales, and can be interpreted as 7edo but with the capability to inflect up or down by a quarter-tone. The 7edo subset functions as an equalized "[[5L 2s|diatonic]]" scale, though non-mos options might also be preferable (such as [[omnidiatonic]]). In other words, all intervals have "minor", "neutral", and "major" variations, which makes building scales in 21edo rather interesting. If 21edo is analyzed purely diatonically, no chromatic alterations can exist because the [[chromatic semitone]] is equal to 0 cents (a fact characteristic of [[whitewood]] temperaments). So, another pair of accidentals (such as ups and downs) is usually used instead, though they might be "reskinned" as sharps and flats to aid melodic intuition.  
In the following tables, odd harmonics 1–11 and their inverses are in '''bold'''.  


21edo supports {{w|tertian harmony}} with 7edo's flat fifth, containing both 7edo's neutral chords and inflected major and minor chords. The [[5/4]] major third is mapped to 400{{c}}, identical to 12edo's, but the minor third is more extreme in 21edo due to the flatness of the fifth (closer to subminor), so that the chords might be more comparable to [[neogothic]] chords. In fact, [[6/5]] is slightly closer to the 6-step neutral third than the 5-step minor third, meaning 21edo lacks [[consistency]] to the [[5-odd-limit]].

21edo closely approximates the [[octave-reduced]] [[harmonic]]s [[7/4]] (a subminor seventh), [[15/8]] (a major seventh), [[23/16]] (a wide tritone), [[29/16]] (a supraminor seventh), [[31/16]] (a supermajor seventh), [[33/32]] (a quartertone), [[39/32]] (a neutral third), and [[43/32]] (an acute fourth). The intervals [[17/16]], [[19/16]], [[27/16]] are approximated less accurately, but are still usable. 21edo can be crudely treated as a no-11s 31-limit temperament, though the lack of consistency will give some unusual results, such as [[10/9]] being mapped wider than [[9/8]]. However, treating 21edo as a 2.15.7.33.39.23.29.31.43 subgroup temperament allows for a more accurate JI interpretation of the tuning, with a maximum error of any 43-odd-limit interval in this subgroup being 6.4{{c}}. These approximations derive from and are inherited by [[84edo]], which covers a large number of primes in high limits. 21edo also works well on the 2.27.9/5.7.11/5.13/5.17/5 subgroup, which is derived from [[63edo]], which is possibly a more sensible way to treat it.

In terms of interval regions, 21edo possesses four types of 2nds (subminor, minor, submajor, and supermajor), three types of 3rds (subminor, neutral, and major), a "third-fourth/naiadic" (an interval that can function as either a supermajor 3rd or a narrow 4th), a wide (or acute) 4th, and a narrow tritone, as well as the octave-inversions of all of these intervals.

Because 21edo is a {{W|Fibonacci sequence|Fibonacci}} edo, it contains an approximation to the [[logarithmic phi]] superfifth, which generates golden MOS scales [[3L 2s]], [[5L 3s]], and [[8L 5s]], with 21edo itself being an equalized version of [[13L 8s]].
 
Thanks to its sevenths, 21edo is an ideal tuning for its size for [[metallic harmony]].
