Line 1:

~~There are many conceivable ways to map [[118edo]] onto the [[Lumatone]] keyboard. Only one, however, agrees with the [[Standard~~ Lumatone mapping ~~for Pythagorean]].~~ Note that due to the size of the edo, this covers less than half of its notes.

== Diatonic ==

Note that due to the size of the edo, this covers less than half of its notes.

Since 118edo is a [[schismatic]] tuning, the best approximation to the 5th harmonic is the diminished ~~4th~~. There is an alternate diatonic scale that makes near perfect [[5-limit]] chords easy to play, but it has an octave stretch of approximately half a syntonic comma. Since you can access nearly every note in alternating octaves, this may actually be advantageous.

== Parakleismic ==

If you want to be able to access the full gamut, the [[4L 11s]] [[parakleismic]] mapping is probably the most efficient and intuitive layout.
