| == Superabundant numbers in EDOs ==
| |
| The defining feature is that the EDO has the largest number of sub-EDOs that it contains, in proportion to the EDO's number. This means that:
| |
| | |
| * The EDO contains the largest amount of symmetrical chords, and correspondingly, uniform octave-repeating scales, relative to its size.
| |
| * The EDO has the largest amount of [[Wikipedia:Mode of limited transposition|modes of limited transposition]] relative to its size.
| |
| * The EDO has the largest amount of rank-2 temperaments whose period is a fraction of the octave, relative to its size.
| |
| * By the virtue of point 1, the EDO has the largest amount of familiar scales relative to its size.
