=== Subsets and supersets ===

51edo contains [[3edo]] and [[17edo]] as subsets. ~~A step~~ of 51edo is ~~exactly 12~~ [[~~skisma~~]]s.

51edo contains [[3edo]] and [[17edo]] as subsets.

One of the very powerful (but very complex) supersets of 51edo is [[612edo]], which divides each step of 51edo into 12 equal parts, for which the name "skisma" has been proposed.

== Notation ==

=== Ups and downs notation ===

In 51edo, a sharp ~~raises by six steps~~, so a combination of quarter tone accidentals and arrow accidentals from [[Helmholtz–Ellis notation]] can be used ~~to fill in the gaps~~.

51edo can be notated with ups and downs, spoken as up, dup, trup, dudsharp, downsharp, sharp, upsharp etc. and down, dud, trud, dupflat etc.

Half-sharps and half-flats can be used to avoid triple arrows:

In 51edo, a combination of quarter tone accidentals and arrow accidentals from [[Helmholtz–Ellis notation]] can be used.
