It divides the octave into twelve equal parts, each of exactly 100 [[cent]]s. It has a [[3/2|fifth]] which is quite accurate at 700 cents, two cents flat of just. It has a [[5/4|major third]] which is 13.7 cents sharp of just, which, while reasonable for its size, is unsatisfactory for some. The [[6/5|minor third]] is even less accurate, being 15.6 cents flat of just.

Before people used 12edo, people used a variety of [[historical temperaments]] such as [[quarter-comma meantone]], and later [[well temperament]]s. By the 20th century, 12edo became dominant primarily due to practical considerations for keyboard instruments and its ability to handle modulation across all keys with reasonable intonation.

By the 20th century, 12edo became dominant primarily due to practical considerations for keyboard instruments and its ability to handle modulation across all keys with reasonable intonation. In actual performance, these deviations from just intonation are often reduced by the tuning adaptations of skilled performers. Modern music theory has increasingly treated 12edo as a system in its own right rather than as an approximation of just intonation or meantone, leading to theoretical approaches such as {{w|serialism}} and much of {{w|jazz harmony}} that derive from 12edo's structure as an equal division rather than its underlying temperament properties.{{cn}}

12edo is the basic example of a [[:Category:12-tone scales|dodecatonic]] scale and can be considered the simplest well temperament, where all twelve fifths are the same.

== Octave stretch or compression ==
== Octave stretch or compression ==
Whether there is intonational improvement from [[stretched and compressed tuning|octave stretch and compression]] for 12edo varies by context. A slight compression such as what is given by [[40ed10]] and [[zpi|34zpi]] shows improved intonation of harmonics [[5/1|5]] and [[7/1|7]] at the cost of worse [[2/1|2]] and [[3/1|3]], while stretching the octave for a purer 3 and for a better match of the inharmonicity on string instruments, like those in [[7edf]], [[19edt]], or [[31ed6]], also makes sense.
