7980 equal divisions of the octave (abbreviated 7980edo or 7980ed2), also called 7980-tone equal temperament (7980tet) or 7980 equal temperament (7980et) when viewed under a regular temperament perspective, is the tuning system that divides the octave into 7980 equal parts of about 0.15 ¢ each. Each step represents a frequency ratio of 21/7980, or the 7980th root of 2.

Theory

It is a very strong 5-limit system, tempering out Kirnberger's atom ([161 -84 -12) and the satanic comma ([1054 665), as well as [73 77 -84 and [234 -7 -96.

In the 7-limit, it tempers out the euzenius comma (78125000/78121827), the akjaysma (140737488355328/140710042265625), and [-17 50 1 -23.

In the 11-limit, using the patent val, it tempers out the kalisma (9801/9800), 47265625/47258883, 39630026842637/39627113103360, and 163470238547968/163443018796875.

Are the 7-limit and 11-limit descriptions musically relevant?
