Theory

In the 5-limit, 231et tempers out the kleisma, 15625/15552, and in the 7-limit 1029/1024, so that it supports the tritikleismic temperament, and in fact provides the optimal patent val. In the 11-limit it tempers out 385/384, 441/440 and 4000/3993, leading to 11-limit tritikleismic for which it also gives the optimal patent val.

231 years is the number of years in a 41 out of 231 leap week cycle, which corresponds to a 41 & 149 temperament tempering out 132055/131072, 166375/165888, and 2460375/2458624. This type of solar calendar leap rule scale may actually be of more use to harmony, since a 41 note subset mimics 41edo, a rather useful edo harmonically, and it preserves the simple commas mentioned above.

231 = 3 × 7 × 11, with subset edos 3, 7, 11, 21, 33, and 77. Since it contains 77edo, it can be used for playing such a tuning of the Carlos Alpha scale.
