'''101 divisions of the seventh harmonic''' ('''101ed7''') is related to [[36edo]] (sixth-tone tuning), but with the 7/1 rather than the 2/1 being just. The octave is about 1.2347 [[cent]]s stretched and the step size is about 33.3547 cents. It is consistent to the 8-[[integer-limit]]. This tuning tempers out the [[syntonic comma]].

== Theory ==
101ed7 is closely related to [[36edo]] (sixth-tone tuning), but with the 7th harmonic rather than the [[2/1|octave]] being just. The octave is stretched by about 0.770 [[cent]]s (almost identical to [[93ed6]], where the octave is stretched by about 0.757 cents). Like 36edo, 101ed7 is [[consistent]] to the [[integer limit|8-integer-limit]].


== Intervals ==
Compared to 36edo, 101ed7 is pretty well optimized for the 2.3.7.13.17 [[subgroup]], with slightly better [[3/1|3]], [[7/1|7]], [[13/1|13]] and [[17/1|17]], and a slightly worse 2 versus 36edo. Using the [[patent val]], the [[5/1|5]] is also less accurate. Overall this means 36edo is still better in the [[5-limit]], but 101ed7 is better in the [[13-limit|13-]] and [[17-limit]], especially when treating it as a dual-5 dual-11 tuning.

== Harmonics ==
=== Harmonics ===
Compared to 36edo, 101ed7’s harmonics are almost exactly the same, but it has a slightly better 3/1, 7/1 and 13/1, and a slightly worse 2/1 and 5/1 versus 36edo.

{{Harmonics in equal|101|7|1|intervals=integer|columns=12|start=12|collapsed=true|title=Approximation of harmonics in 101ed7 (continued)}}


Overall this means 36edo is still better in the [[5-limit]], but 101ed7 better in the [[13-limit]]. And the [[7-limit]] and [[11-limit]] could go either way.
=== Subsets and supersets ===
101ed7 is the 26th [[prime equal division|prime ed7]], so it does not contain any nontrivial subset ed7's.


36edo’s 5-limit dominance flips on its head, though, if one approaches it as a [[dual-n|dual-5]] tuning. In that case, the fact that 101ed7’s 5/1 is closer to 50% relative error is actually a ''good'' thing, because it means the error on the worse of the two 5/1s is less.

So as a single-5 5-limit tuning, 36edo is better. But as a dual-5 5-limit tuning, 101ed7 is better.
 
And as a dual-5, dual-11 [[31-limit]] tuning, 101ed7 is exceptional for its size. It is very accurate.
