{{ED intro}}
The '''111 equal divisions of the octave''' ('''111edo'''), or the '''111(-tone) equal temperament''' ('''111tet''', '''111et''') when viewed from a [[regular temperament]] perspective, is the [[equal division of the octave]] into 111 parts, each of size about 10.811 [[cent]]s.

111edo is [[consistent]] through to the [[21-odd-limit]], and is the smallest EDO uniquely consistent through the [[15-odd-limit]], marking it as an important higher limit tuning. With harmonics 3 through 19 all tuned sharp, 111edo is somewhat related to [[37edo]], with which it shares the mappings for 5, 7, 11, and 13.  
111edo is [[consistent]] through to the [[21-odd-limit]], and is the smallest edo [[distinctly consistent]] through the [[15-odd-limit]], marking it as an important higher limit tuning. It has a sharp tendency, with [[prime harmonic|primes]] 3 through 19 all tuned sharp. Since {{nowrap| 111 {{=}} 3 × 37 }}, 111edo shares the mappings for [[5/1|5]], [[7/1|7]], [[11/1|11]], and [[13/1|13]] with [[37edo]].  


It is also significant for lower limits, especially in terms of what it tempers out in its [[patent val]]; for example, it tempers out [[176/175]] and gives an excellent [[optimal patent val]] for the corresponding [[11-limit]] [[rank-4 temperament]].  
It is also significant for lower limits, especially in terms of what it [[tempering out|tempers out]] in its [[patent val]]; for example, it tempers out [[176/175]] and gives an excellent [[optimal patent val]] for the corresponding [[11-limit]] [[rank-4 temperament]]. In fact in the [[7-limit]] it tempers out [[1728/1715]], [[3136/3125]], and [[5120/5103]], and in the 11-limit, 176/175, [[540/539]], [[1331/1323]], [[1375/1372]].  


In fact in the [[7-limit]] it tempers out [[1728/1715]], [[3136/3125]] and [[5120/5103]], and in the 11-limit, 176/175, 540/539, 1331/1323, 1375/1372, and notably the [[quartisma]].  
It further tempers out among others [[351/350]], [[352/351]], [[640/637]], [[676/675]], [[847/845]], [[1001/1000]], [[1188/1183]], [[1573/1568]] in the 13-limit; [[256/255]], [[325/324]], [[442/441]] in the 17-limit; [[286/285]], [[400/399]], [[476/475]] in the 19-limit. It excels as a full [[23-limit]] temperament, tempering out [[253/252]] and [[276/275]]. The [[23/1|23]] is tuned a little flat, unlike the lower primes. [[23/19]], [[23/21]] and their [[octave complement]]s are the only inconsistently mapped intervals in the [[23-odd-limit]].  


It is a particularly good tuning for the 11- or 13-limit versions of [[semisept]], the 31&80 temperament, and [[buzzard]], the 53&58 temperament. The trio piece in [[#Music]] section is in [[Orwellismic family #Guanyin|guanyin temperament]], the [[planar temperament]] [[tempering out]] 176/175 and 540/539, for which 111 also provides the optimal patent val.
It is a particularly good tuning for the 11- or 13-limit versions of [[semisept]], the {{nowrap| 31 & 80 }} temperament, and [[buzzard]], the {{nowrap| 53 & 58 }} temperament. [[Gene Ward Smith]]'s trio in [[#Music]] section is in [[guanyin]] temperament, the [[rank-3 temperament]] [[tempering out]] 176/175 and 540/539, for which 111 also provides the optimal patent val.

=== Octave stretch ===
111edo can benefit from slightly [[stretched and compressed tuning|compressing the octave]] if that is acceptable, using tunings such as [[176edt]] or [[287ed6]]. This improves the approximated harmonics 3, 5, 7, 13, 17 and 19; the 11 becomes less accurate as it is quite spot-on already. 23 also gets worse on compression, so the compression should be very mild if the target is the full 23-limit.
 
=== Subsets and supersets ===
Since 111 factors into primes as {{nowrap| 3 × 37 }}, 111edo contains [[3edo]] and [[37edo]] as its subsets. Of these, 37edo has the same approximations of several prime harmonics, notably 5, 7, 11, and 13, and thus offers the same accuracy in the no-3's [[13-odd-limit]]. [[333edo]], which slices the step of 111edo in three, is a significant tuning.

111 equal divisions of the octave (abbreviated 111edo or 111ed2), also called 111-tone equal temperament (111tet) or 111 equal temperament (111et) when viewed under a regular temperament perspective, is the tuning system that divides the octave into 111 equal parts of about 10.8 ¢ each. Each step represents a frequency ratio of 21/111, or the 111th root of 2.

Theory

111edo is consistent through to the 21-odd-limit, and is the smallest edo distinctly consistent through the 15-odd-limit, marking it as an important higher limit tuning. It has a sharp tendency, with primes 3 through 19 all tuned sharp. Since 111 = 3 × 37, 111edo shares the mappings for 5, 7, 11, and 13 with 37edo.

It is also significant for lower limits, especially in terms of what it tempers out in its patent val; for example, it tempers out 176/175 and gives an excellent optimal patent val for the corresponding 11-limit rank-4 temperament. In fact in the 7-limit it tempers out 1728/1715, 3136/3125, and 5120/5103, and in the 11-limit, 176/175, 540/539, 1331/1323, 1375/1372.

It further tempers out among others 351/350, 352/351, 640/637, 676/675, 847/845, 1001/1000, 1188/1183, 1573/1568 in the 13-limit; 256/255, 325/324, 442/441 in the 17-limit; 286/285, 400/399, 476/475 in the 19-limit. It excels as a full 23-limit temperament, tempering out 253/252 and 276/275. The 23 is tuned a little flat, unlike the lower primes. 23/19, 23/21 and their octave complements are the only inconsistently mapped intervals in the 23-odd-limit.

It is a particularly good tuning for the 11- or 13-limit versions of semisept, the 31 & 80 temperament, and buzzard, the 53 & 58 temperament. Gene Ward Smith's trio in #Music section is in guanyin temperament, the rank-3 temperament tempering out 176/175 and 540/539, for which 111 also provides the optimal patent val.

Octave stretch

111edo can benefit from slightly compressing the octave if that is acceptable, using tunings such as 176edt or 287ed6. This improves the approximated harmonics 3, 5, 7, 13, 17 and 19; the 11 becomes less accurate as it is quite spot-on already. 23 also gets worse on compression, so the compression should be very mild if the target is the full 23-limit.

Subsets and supersets

Since 111 factors into primes as 3 × 37, 111edo contains 3edo and 37edo as its subsets. Of these, 37edo has the same approximations of several prime harmonics, notably 5, 7, 11, and 13, and thus offers the same accuracy in the no-3's 13-odd-limit. 333edo, which slices the step of 111edo in three, is a significant tuning.
