27edo divides the [[octave]] in 27 equal parts each exactly 44{{frac|4|9}} [[cent]]s in size. | Assuming pure octaves, 27edo divides the [[octave]] in 27 equal parts each exactly 44{{frac|4|9}} [[cent]]s in size. Its fifth and harmonic seventh are both sharp by 9{{c}}, and the major third is the same 400-cent major third as [[12edo]], sharp by 13.7{{c}}. The result is that [[6/5]], [[7/5]], and especially [[7/6]] are all tuned more accurately than this. It can be considered the superpythagorean counterpart of [[19edo]], as its 5th is audibly indistinguishable from [[superpyth|1/3-septimal-comma superpyth]] in the same way that 19edo is audibly indistinguishable from [[1/3-comma meantone|1/3-syntonic-comma meantone]], where three fifths in 19edo reach a near-perfect [[6/5]] and [[5/3]] and three fifths in 27edo reaching a near-perfect [[7/6]] and [[12/7]]. | ||
Though 27edo's [[7-limit]] tuning is not highly accurate, it nonetheless is the smallest equal division to represent the [[7-odd-limit]] both [[consistent]]ly and distinctly—that is, everything in the [[7-odd-limit]] [[tonality diamond]] is uniquely represented by a certain number of steps of 27edo. It also represents the 13th harmonic very well, and performs quite decently as a 2.3.5.7.13.19 (no-11's, no-17's 19-limit) temperament. It also approximates [[19/10]], [[19/12]], and [[19/14]], so {{dash|0, 7, 13, 25|med}} does quite well as a 10:12:14:19 chord, with the major seventh 25\27 being less than one cent off from 19/10. Octave-inverted, these also form a quite convincing approximation of the main Bohlen–Pierce triads, 3:5:7 and 5:7:9, making 27 the smallest edo that can simulate tritave harmony, although it rapidly becomes rough if extended to the 11 and above, unlike a true tritave based system. | |||
27edo, with its 400 | 27edo, with its 400{{c}} major third, [[tempering out|tempers out]] the lesser diesis, [[128/125]], and the septimal comma, [[64/63]], and hence [[126/125]] as well. These it shares with 12edo, making some relationships familiar, and they both support the [[augene]] temperament. It shares with [[22edo]] tempering out the sensamagic comma [[245/243]] as well as 64/63, so that they both support the [[superpyth]] temperament, with four quite sharp "superpythagorean" fifths giving a sharp [[9/7]] in place of meantone's 5/4. | ||
Its step of 44.4{{c}}, as well as the octave-inverted and octave-equivalent versions of it, holds the distinction for having very high [[harmonic entropy]]. In other words, there is a general perception of quartertones as being the most dissonant intervals. This property is shared with all edos between around 20 and 30. Intervals smaller than this tend to be perceived as unison and are more consonant as a result; intervals larger than this have less "tension" and thus are also more consonant. | |||
The [[chromatic semitone]] of 27edo, at 178{{c}}, is equal to a submajor second in size, meaning 27edo is a candidate for [[extraclassical tonality]] due to its sharp major third of 444 cents. | |||

=== Octave stretch === | |||
Since the harmonics whose intervals it approximates well (3, 5, 7, 13, and 19) are all tuned sharp of just, 27edo is a prime candidate for [[stretched and compressed tuning|octave compression]]. The local zeta peak around 27 is at 27.086614, which corresponds to a step size of 44.3023{{c}}. More generally, narrowing the steps to between 44.2 and 44.35{{c}} would be better in theory; [[43edt]], [[70ed6]], [[90ed10]], and [[97ed12]] are good options if octave compression is acceptable, and these narrow the octaves by 5.75, 3.53, 4.11, and 2.55{{c}}, respectively. | |||
=== Subsets and supersets === | |||
Since 27 factors into primes as 3<sup>3</sup>, 27edo contains [[3edo]] and [[9edo]] as subsets. Multiplying it by 3 gives [[81edo]], which is a good [[meantone]] tuning. | |||

=== Extended Pythagorean notation === | |||
27edo being a superpythagorean system, the 5/4 major third present in the 4:5:6 chord is technically an augmented second, since (for example) C–E is a 9/7 supermajor third and so the note located 5/4 above C must be notated as D♯. Conversely, the 6/5 minor third of a 10:12:15 chord is actually reached by a diminished fourth, since (for example) D–F is a 7/6 subminor third and so the note located 6/5 above D must be notated as G♭. The diminished 2nd is a descending interval, thus A♯ is higher than B♭. Though here very exaggerated, this should be familiar to those working with the Pythagorean scale (see [[53edo]]), and also to many classically trained violinists. | |||
=== Quartertone notation === | |||
Using standard [[chain-of-fifths notation]], a sharp (an augmented unison) raises a note by 4 edosteps, just one edostep beneath the following nominal, and the flat conversely lowers. The sharp is quite wide at about 178¢, sounding like a narrow major 2nd. C to C♯ describes the approximate 10/9 and 11/10 interval. An accidental can be divided in half, and the remaining places can then be filled in with half-sharps, half-flats, sesquisharps, and sesquiflats, reducing the need for double sharps and double flats. The half-sharp is notated as a quartertone, but at about 89¢ it sounds more like a narrow semitone. The gamut from C to D is C, D♭, C{{demisharp2}}, D{{demiflat2}}, C♯, and D, with many ascending intervals appearing to be descending on the staff. | |||
{{ | ===Ups and downs notation=== | ||
27edo can be notated with [[ups and downs]], spoken as up, dup, downsharp, sharp, upsharp etc. and down, dud, upflat etc. Note that dup is equivalent to dudsharp and dud is equivalent to dupflat. | |||
{{Sharpness-sharp4a}} | |||
[[Alternative symbols for ups and downs notation|Alternatively,]] sharps and flats with arrows can be used, borrowed from extended [[Helmholtz–Ellis notation]]: | |||

In the diagrams above, a sagittal symbol followed by an equals sign (=) means that the following comma is the symbol's [[Sagittal notation #Primary comma|primary comma]] (the comma it ''exactly'' represents in JI), while an approximately equals sign (≈) means it is a secondary comma (a comma it ''approximately'' represents in JI). In both cases the symbol exactly represents the tempered version of the comma in this edo. | |||
