270edo is an extremely strong [[13-limit]] and system, [[distinctly consistent]] through the [[15-odd-limit]] and almost [[Consistency#Consistency to distance d|consistent to distance 2]] in it, missing [[15/13]] and [[26/15]] as they have 25.8% error ([[tempering out]] [[676/675]]). This results in it being a record edo for [[Pepper ambiguity]] in the 11-, 13- and 15-odd-limit, and the edo with the lowest [[TE logflat badness]] in the 11-limit ''and'' 13-limit up until [[342edo]] and [[96478edo]] respectively.  
270edo is an extremely strong [[13-limit]] system, [[distinctly consistent]] through the [[15-odd-limit]] and almost [[Consistency #Consistency to distance d|consistent to distance 2]] in it, missing [[15/13]] and [[26/15]] as they have 25.8% error ([[tempering out]] [[676/675]], [[CWE tuning|CWE]] yields only 0.4% error from 270edo for both intervals). It is the 11th [[zeta gap edo]], the 13th [[zeta integral edo]], the 23rd [[zeta peak edo]], and the 18th [[zeta peak integer edo]], making it a [[strict zeta edo]].   
 
It is [[The Riemann zeta function and tuning #Zeta EDO lists|the 11th zeta gap edo, the 13th zeta integral edo, the 23rd zeta peak edo, and the 18th zeta peak integer edo]], making it a [[strict zeta edo]].   


In the [[5-limit]] it tempers out the [[ennealimma]], {{monzo| 1 -27 18 }}, the [[vulture comma]], {{monzo| 24 -21 4 }}, and the [[vishnuzma]], {{monzo| 23 6 -14 }}.  
In the [[5-limit]] it tempers out the [[ennealimma]], {{monzo| 1 -27 18 }}, the [[vulture comma]], {{monzo| 24 -21 4 }}, and the [[vishnuzma]], {{monzo| 23 6 -14 }}.  


In the [[7-limit]] it tempers out the [[2401/2400|breedsma]] (2401/2400), the [[4375/4374|ragisma]] (4375/4374), and by extension the [[wizma]] (420175/419904), and the [[landscape comma]] (250047/250000) so that it [[support]]s [[ennealimmal]] temperament. It also tempers out the [[quasiorwellisma]] (29360128/29296875) and the [[garischisma]] (33554432/33480783).  
In the [[7-limit]] it tempers out the [[breedsma]] (2401/2400), the [[ragisma]] (4375/4374), and by extension the [[wizma]] (420175/419904), and the [[landscape comma]] (250047/250000) so that it [[support]]s [[ennealimmal]] temperament. It also tempers out the [[quasiorwellisma]] (29360128/29296875) and the [[septischisma]] (33554432/33480783).  


In the [[11-limit]], it tempers out the lehmerisma ([[3025/3024]]), the vishdel comma ([[5632/5625]]), the kalisma ([[9801/9800]]), the [[symbiotic comma]] (19712/19683), the [[nexus comma]] (1771561/1769472), and the [[quartisma]] (117440512/117406179). Notably, it is consistent to distance 3 in the [[11-odd-limit]], and almost to distance 4 ((11/10)<sup>4</sup> and (20/11)<sup>4</sup> are a hair off, 50.4%).
In the [[11-limit]], it tempers out the [[lehmerisma]] (3025/3024), the [[vishdelisma]] (5632/5625), the [[kalisma]] (9801/9800), the [[symbiotic comma]] (19712/19683), the [[nexus comma]] (1771561/1769472), and the [[quartisma]] (117440512/117406179). It is almost consistent to distance 3 in the [[11-odd-limit]], only barely missing [[11/9]] (off by 16.68%).  


Finally, in the [[13-limit]] it is slightly worse but still excellent. It tempers out [[676/675]], [[1001/1000]], [[1716/1715]], and [[2080/2079]], making it an [[The Archipelago|archipelago]] tuning, and the [[optimal patent val]] for some of the archipelago temperaments such as [[hemiennealimmal]], [[vulture]], [[eagle]], and [[avicenna (temperament)|avicenna]].

Line 17: Line 15:
The excellent tuning accuracy does not bar it from the utility of [[essentially tempered chord]]s, including [[sinbadmic chords]] in the 13-odd-limit, and [[island chords]] in the 15-odd-limit.  
The excellent tuning accuracy does not bar it from the utility of [[essentially tempered chord]]s, including [[sinbadmic chords]] in the 13-odd-limit, and [[island chords]] in the 15-odd-limit.  


Beyond the 13-limit, the approximated [[17/1|harmonic 17]] is more than 1/3-edostep, but the [[19/1|harmonic 19]] is extremely accurately tuned. [[17/13]] and its [[octave complement]] [[26/17]] are the only inconsistently approximated [[21-odd-limit]] intervals, each barely missing the mark (50.4% relative error). The [[23/1|harmonic 23]] is more than 1/3-edostep flat, which incurs more inconsistencies in the next odd limits yet makes 270edo viable but tricky for the full [[23-limit]]. It tempers out [[715/714]], [[936/935]], [[1089/1088]], [[1225/1224]], [[1701/1700]], [[2025/2023]], [[2058/2057]], and [[2431/2430]] in the [[17-limit]]; [[1216/1215]], [[1331/1330]], [[1521/1520]], [[1540/1539]], and [[1729/1728]] in the [[19-limit]]. If the full 23-limit is desired, then [[460/459]], [[529/528]], [[736/735]], [[897/896]], [[1288/1287]], 1311/1309, and 1771/1768 are further tempered out.  
Beyond the 13-limit, the approximated [[17/1|harmonic 17]] is more than 1/3-edostep, but the [[19/1|harmonic 19]] is very accurately tuned. [[17/13]] and its [[octave complement]] [[26/17]] are the only inconsistently approximated [[21-odd-limit]] intervals, each barely missing the mark (50.4% relative error). The [[23/1|harmonic 23]] is more than 1/3-edostep flat, which incurs more inconsistencies in the next odd limits yet makes 270edo viable but tricky for the full [[23-limit]]. It tempers out [[715/714]], [[936/935]], [[1089/1088]], [[1225/1224]], [[1701/1700]], [[2025/2023]], [[2058/2057]], and [[2431/2430]] in the [[17-limit]]; [[1216/1215]], [[1331/1330]], [[1521/1520]], [[1540/1539]], and [[1729/1728]] in the [[19-limit]]. If the full 23-limit is desired, then [[460/459]], [[529/528]], [[736/735]], [[897/896]], [[1288/1287]], 1311/1309, and 1771/1768 are further tempered out.  


The harmonics [[29/1|29]] and [[31/1|31]] are also more than 1/3-edostep sharp, but not as sharp as the 17 to incur inconsistency ([[29/26]] and [[31/26]] are critically sharp but still consistent). This makes 270edo consistent in the no-17/13 no-23 [[35-odd-limit]]. Notably, it tempers out [[784/783]], [[900/899]], and [[1024/1023]], while inflating [[841/840]] and [[961/960]].

270edo can be notated using [[Kite's ups and downs notation|ups and downs]] with Stein-Zimmerman quarter-tone accidentals representing half-sharps and half-flats. These can be spoken as ''sha'' and ''fla''. For example, the note 12\270 above C is C downsha, and the note 39\270 above C is C shasharp.
