44edo is a double of [[22edo]], to which it adds the ratios of 13, 19, and 23. While not the most accurate 2.3.5.7.11 tuning, 22edo is certainly a relatively compact one, and it's natural to extend it this way. The most practically useful of these additions is easily the [[13/1|13th harmonic]] with its neutral intervals, but the 17th, 19th, and 23rd are not to be dismissed.

It is on the [[optimal ET sequence]] for 7-, 11- and 13-limit [[nautilus]] temperament, for 11-limit [[spell]] temperament, and for 13-limit [[cantrip]] temperament. In the [[13-limit]] it supplies the optimal [[patent val]] for [[vigin]] temperament.

The [[k*N_subgroups|2*44]] subgroup of 44edo is 2.9.5.21.11.13.17.19.23, on which 44 tempers out the same commas as the patent val for [[88edo]].

One step of 44edo is very close (only 0.0086 cents sharp) to [[64/63]] (the septimal comma). [[Ruthenium]] temperament realizes this proximity through a regular temperament perspective, and it is supported by a large number of edos which are a multiple of 44 - for example [[1012edo]], [[1848edo]], and [[2684edo]].

The aforementioned 88edo, which doubles it, is a [[meantone]] tuning that corrects the 7th harmonic to near-just, although at the expense of increasing relative error of the 13th and 19th harmonics; alternatively, if it is treated as directly approximating the 9th harmonic, then it also corrects the 9th harmonic to near-just.

In 44edo, sharps and flats alter pitch by 6 edosteps. This means intervals can be notated with half sharps and half flats equal to 3 edosteps, in addition to ups and downs. The table below uses only sharps, flats, and ups and downs. When translating music from 22edo to 44edo, single ups and downs simply become double ups and downs (vEb in 22edo would be vvEb in 44edo).

=== Stein–Zimmermann–Gould notation ===
44edo can be notated with ups and downs, spoken as up, dup, trup, dudsharp, downsharp, sharp, upsharp etc. and down, dud, trud, dupflat etc.  
[[Stein–Zimmermann–Gould notation]] uses sharps and flats combined with quartertone accidentals and arrows:
{{Sharpness-sharp6-szg}}
 
If double arrows are not desirable, arrows can be attached to quarter-tone accidentals:
{{Sharpness-sharp6-qt-szg}}
 
=== Kite's ups and downs notation ===
44edo can also be notated with [[Kite's ups and downs notation|Kite's ups and downs]], spoken as up, dup, trup, dudsharp, downsharp, sharp, upsharp etc. and down, dud, trud, dupflat etc.

In the diagrams above, a sagittal symbol followed by an equals sign (=) means that the following comma is the symbol's [[Sagittal notation#Primary comma|primary comma]] (the comma it ''exactly'' represents in JI), while an approximately equals sign (≈) means it is a secondary comma (a comma it ''approximately'' represents in JI). In both cases the symbol exactly represents the tempered version of the comma in this EDO.
