The '''87 equal temperament''', often abbreviated '''87-tET''', '''87-EDO''', or '''87-ET''', is the scale derived by dividing the octave into 87 equally-sized steps, where each step is 13.79 [[cent|cents]].

87edo is solid as both a [[13-limit]] (or [[15-odd-limit]]) and as a [[5-limit]] system, and does well enough in any limit in between. It is the smallest edo that is [[distinctly consistent]] in the [[13-odd-limit]] [[tonality diamond]], and the smallest edo that is [[purely consistent]]{{idiosyncratic}} in the [[15-odd-limit]] (maintains [[relative interval error]]s of no greater than 25% on all of the first 16 [[harmonic]]s of the [[harmonic series]]). It is also a [[zeta peak integer edo]]. Since {{nowrap|87 {{=}} 3 × 29}}, 87edo shares the same perfect fifth with [[29edo]].


87et is solid as both a [[13-limit]] (or [[15-odd-limit]]) and as a [[5-limit]] system, and of course does well enough in any limit in between. It represents the [[13-limit]] [[tonality diamond]] both uniquely and [[consistent|consistently]] (see [[87edo/13-limit detempering]]), and is the smallest equal temperament to do so. It is a [[zeta peak integer edo]].
87edo also shows some potential in limits beyond 13. The next four prime harmonics [[17/1|17]], [[19/1|19]], [[23/1|23]], and [[29/1|29]] are all near-critically sharp, but the feature of it is that the overtones and undertones are distinct, and most intervals are usable as long as they do not combine with [[7/1|7]], which is flat. Actually, as a no-sevens system, it is consistent in the 33-odd-limit.

The next four prime harmonics 17, 19, 23 and 29 are all near-critically sharp, but the feature of it is that the overtones and undertones are distinct, and most intervals are usable as long as they don't combine with 7, which is flat.

It [[tempering out|tempers out]] 15625/15552 ([[15625/15552|kleisma]]), {{monzo| 26 -12 -3 }} ([[misty comma]]), and {{monzo| 46 -29 }} ([[29-comma]]) in the 5-limit, in addition to [[245/243]], [[1029/1024]], [[3136/3125]], and [[5120/5103]] in the 7-limit. In the 13-limit, notably [[196/195]], [[325/324]], [[352/351]], [[364/363]], [[385/384]], [[441/440]], [[625/624]], [[676/675]], and [[1001/1000]].  


87et [[tempering out|tempers out]] 196/195, 325/324, 352/351, 364/363, 385/384, 441/440, 625/624, 676/675, and 1001/1000 as well as the 29-comma, <46 -29|, the misty comma, <26 -12 -3|, the kleisma, 15625/15552, 245/243, 1029/1024, 3136/3125, and 5120/5103.
87edo is a particularly good tuning for [[rodan]], the {{nowrap|41 & 46}} temperament. The 8/7 generator of 17\87 is a remarkable 0.00061{{c}} sharper than the 13-limit [[CWE tuning|CWE generator]]. Also, the 32\87 generator for [[Kleismic family #Clyde|clyde temperament]] is 0.01479{{c}} sharp of the 13-limit CWE generator.


87et is a particularly good tuning for [[Gamelismic clan #Rodan|rodan temperament]]. The 8/7 generator of 17\87 is a remarkable 0.00062 cents sharper than the 13-limit [[POTE tuning|POTE]] generator and is close to the [[11-limit]] POTE generator also. Also, the 32\87 generator for [[Kleismic family #Clyde|clyde temperament]] is 0.04455 cents sharp of the 7-limit POTE generator.
=== Prime harmonics ===
In higher limits it excels as a [[subgroup]] temperament, especially as an incomplete 71-limit temperament with [[128/127]] and [[129/128]] (the subharmonic and harmonic hemicomma-sized intervals, respectively) mapped accurately to a single step. Generalizing a single step of 87edo harmonically yields harmonics 115 through 138, which when detempered is the beginning of the construction of [[Ringer scale|Ringer]] 87, thus tempering [[S-expression|S116 through S137]] by patent val and corresponding to the gravity of the fact that 87edo is a circle of [[126/125]]'s, meaning ([[126/125]])<sup>87</sup> only very slightly exceeds the octave.
{{Harmonics in equal|87|columns=12}}
{{Harmonics in equal|87|columns=12|start=13|collapsed=1|title=Approximation of prime harmonics in 87edo (continued)}}
 
=== Subsets and supersets ===
87edo contains [[3edo]] and [[29edo]] as subset edos.
 
[[348edo]], which slices the edostep in four, provides a good correction of the 7th harmonic. Multiples like [[696edo]] and [[783edo]] are also of theoretical interest.
 
One step of 87edo is ''extremely'' close to [[126/125]], with the associated comma, 87-126/125-comma ({{monzo|86 174 -261 87}}) being tempered in equal temperaments well over 100,000 and with less than 0.001{{c}} error, with the [[optimal patent val]] for the 7-limit temperament being an enormous [[425082edo]]. But more notably, 87edo itself does the mapping consistently, making it a true circle of 126/125's.

== Just approximation ==
== Notation ==
=== Ups and downs notation ===
87edo can be written using [[Kite's ups and downs notation]]. Note that quudsharp (quadruple-down sharp) is equivalent to quip (quintuple-up) and that quupflat (quadruple-up flat) is equivalent to quid (quintuple-down):
{{Ups and downs sharpness}}
Mapping an arrow to 2\87 rather than 1\87 is an alternative approach which takes advantage of 87edo being a tuning of akea temperament. This way, one arrow is equivalent to 81/80~64/63, and two arrows are equivalent to 33/32~1053/1024.
