171edo is a remarkable edo which serves as a [[7-limit]] [[microtemperament]], approximating the [[9-odd-limit]] [[tonality diamond]] within about 2/5 of a cent. The excellence of its 7-limit approximations is good enough to make it the eleventh [[zeta integral edo]] but not enough to make it a [[zeta gap edo|zeta gap]]. It is also almost consistent in the 17-odd-limit, missing [[15/11]] and [[22/15]].
171edo is a remarkable edo which serves as a [[7-limit]] [[microtemperament]], approximating the [[9-odd-limit]] [[tonality diamond]] within about 2/5 of a cent. The excellence of its 7-limit approximations is good enough to make it the eleventh [[zeta integral edo]] but not enough to make it a [[zeta gap edo|zeta gap]]. It is also almost consistent in the 17-odd-limit, only missing [[15/11]] and [[22/15]].


Remarkable 5-limit commas 171et [[tempering out|tempers out]] are 32805/32768 ([[schisma]]), {{monzo| 1 -27 18 }} ([[ennealimma]]), {{monzo| -14 -19 19 }} ([[enneadeca]]), and {{monzo| -29 -11 20 }} ([[gammic comma]]), and remarkable 7-limit commas 171et tempers out are 2401/2400 ([[breedsma]]), 4375/4374 ([[ragisma]]), 65625/65536 ([[horwell comma]]), 250047/250000 ([[landscape comma]]), 420175/419904 ([[wizma]]), and 703125/702464 ([[meter]]). So 171et [[support]]s a number of 7-limit rank-2 temperaments: [[pontiac]], [[sesquiquartififths]], [[term]], [[ennealimmal]], [[tertiaseptal]], [[supermajor (temperament)|supermajor]], [[enneadecal]], [[neptune]], [[mitonic]], and [[mutt]]. It notably provides the [[optimal patent val]] for the rank-3 [[horwell]] temperament, and is also an excellent tuning for the 5-limit [[Helmholtz (temperament)|helmholtz]] temperament, tempering out 32805/32768, and the no-fives temperament tempering out {{monzo| -59 39 0 -1 }}.
Remarkable 5-limit commas 171et [[tempering out|tempers out]] are 32805/32768 ([[schisma]]), {{monzo| 1 -27 18 }} ([[ennealimma]]), {{monzo| -14 -19 19 }} ([[enneadeca]]), and {{monzo| -29 -11 20 }} ([[gammic comma]]), and remarkable 7-limit commas 171et tempers out are 2401/2400 ([[breedsma]]), 4375/4374 ([[ragisma]]), 65625/65536 ([[horwell comma]]), 250047/250000 ([[landscape comma]]), 420175/419904 ([[wizma]]), and 703125/702464 ([[meter]]). Therefore, 171et [[support]]s a number of notable 7-limit rank-2 temperaments: [[pontiac]], [[sesquiquartififths]], [[term]], [[ennealimmal]], [[tertiaseptal]], [[supermajor (temperament)|supermajor]], [[enneadecal]], [[neptune]], [[mitonic]], and [[mutt]]. It notably provides the [[optimal patent val]] for the rank-3 [[horwell]] temperament, and is also an excellent tuning for the 5-limit [[Helmholtz (temperament)|helmholtz]] temperament, tempering out 32805/32768, and the no-fives temperament tempering out {{monzo| -59 39 0 -1 }}.


171edo is much less accurate in the 11-limit, but still quite useful as it is a good tuning (emphasizing accuracy in the 7-limit) for the important rank-3 temperament [[jove]], which tempers out [[243/242]] (rastma) and [[441/440]], not to mention [[540/539]] and 2401/2400. Jove can be extended by adding [[364/363]] for the 13-limit and [[595/594]] for the 17-limit, which 171edo also supports. Alternatively, the 171e val can be used, which tempers out [[385/384]]. In the 2.3.13 subgroup, it provides the optimal patent val for [[Glacier comma|glacier]], and is generally a great [[2.3.5.13 subgroup|2.3.5.13]] and 2.3.5.13.17 subgroup temperament.  
171edo is notably [[Consistency#Consistency to distance d|consistent to distance ''6'']] in the [[7-limit|7-prime]] [[15-odd-limit]], and to distance ''8'' in the [[9-odd-limit]]. No other edo is so consistent until [[3125edo]]. Because of its accuracy in the 7-limit, the 171et mapping is an excellent and relatively simple way to classify 7-limit commas by size. For example, one step represents [[225/224]], two steps [[126/125]], three steps [[81/80]], and four steps [[64/63]].

171edo is an excellent tuning for the [[Carlos Gamma]] scale, since the difference between 5 steps of 171edo and 1 step of Carlos Gamma is only -0.010823 cents.

171 factors into primes as {{nowrap| 3<sup>2</sup> × 19 }}, and 171edo shares the nearly pure [[7/6]] of [[9edo]] and the nearly pure [[6/5]] of [[19edo]], with every 7-limit interval expressible in terms of 2, 6/5, 7/6, and any one of primes 3, 5, or 7. [[342edo]], which doubles 171, provides an excellent correction for the 11th harmonic.

[[684edo]], which quadruples it, achieves [[17-odd-limit]] consistency.

The 7-prime-limited 49-odd-limit is where non-distinctness first shows up: namely, ~49/48 = ~50/49 (this is characteristic of all ennealimmal tunings). However, 171edo remains consistent up to much higher 7-prime-limited odd-limits (much higher than even [[99edo]]).
