However, due to the size of the edo, this does not cover the whole gamut. You can expand it to the [[7L 5s]] mapping, but this gives octaves a moderate downward slant.

However, due to the size of the edo, this does not cover the whole gamut. You can expand it to the [[7L 5s]] mapping, but this gives octaves a moderate downward slant. Brian Deister uses this mapping in [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JQly-kX6kcM ''microtonal improvisation in 88edo''].

Keeping the same generator but setting the period to the quarter octave gives you a near equal [[4L 8s]] scale that keeps octaves closer to horizontal and makes chords easy to play

== Mothra ==

The [[Mothra]] mapping is also a good option, as 88edo is its higher limit optimal patent val. However, it has similar problems to the meantone mapping in that you have to choose between not having access to all the notes or heavily slanted octaves.

== Other Mappings ==

To maximise your range without skipping notes and keep octaves close to horizontal involves an inverted [[9L 2s]] scale which is not particularly intuitive to play.

To maximise your range without skipping notes and keep octaves close to horizontal involves an inverted [[9L 2s]] (step ratio 10:-1) scale which is not particularly intuitive to play.
