If you have a [[12edo|12edo]] guitar, or other fretted [[string_instruments|string instrument]], and you want to play in an EDO that is numerically near 12 (e.g. [[11edo|11edo]] or [[13edo|13edo]]), then rather than redoing the whole fretboard, you might be tempted simply to move the bridge. If you move the bridge so that the 13th fret is now precisely 2/1, the frets will play precisely 13edo, right?

...well, actually, no. The frets form a geometric series of lengths that converges at a specific point, which is where the bridge ought to be. (That's what an EDO is - a geometric sequence of frequencies, corresponding to a geometric sequence of string lengths.) If you move the bridge, the new string lengths no longer form a mathematically correct geometric sequence. However, depending on what range of the fretboard you want to be usable, and what accuracy you desire, a moving-the-bridge solution may be possible.

Let the EDO number of the original instrument be ''N'' (so very often {{nowrap|''N'' {{=}} 12}}). Let the original scale length of the instrument (distance from bridge to nut) be 1. In other words we're measuring all lengths relative to the original scale length. Then the playable string lengths of the unmodified instrument are
Let the EDO number of the original instrument be N (so very often N=12). Let the original scale length of the instrument (distance from bridge to nut) be 1. In other words we're measuring all lengths relative to the original scale length. Then the playable string lengths of the unmodified instrument are


<math>2^{-i/N} \text{ for } i = 0, 1, 2, 3\dots</math>
<math>2^{-i/N} \text{ for } i = 0, 1, 2, 3\dots</math>


If the bridge is moved so that the new scale length is x, this adds (x-1) to all string lengths, so the new string lengths are simply
If the bridge is moved so that the new scale length is ''x'', this adds ({{nowrap|''x'' − 1}}) to all string lengths, so the new string lengths are simply


<math>2^{-i/N} + x - 1 \text{ for } i = 0, 1, 2, 3\dots</math>
<math>2^{-i/N} + x - 1 \text{ for } i = 0, 1, 2, 3\dots</math>


The frequencies are inversely proportional to the string lengths. If we plug in i=0 to the above formula, we get x, so the frequency ratios relative to the open string are
The frequencies are inversely proportional to the string lengths. If we plug in {{nowrap|''i'' {{=}} 0}} to the above formula, we get ''x'', so the frequency ratios relative to the open string are


<math>\frac{x}{2^{-i/N} + x - 1} \text{ for } i = 0, 1, 2, 3\dots</math>
<math>\frac{x}{2^{-i/N} + x - 1} \text{ for } i = 0, 1, 2, 3\dots</math>

Converting those frequency ratios into cents in the usual way (taking the log to base 2 and multiplying by 1200) gives the new scale in cents.

The naive way to position the bridge for 9edo would be to make the 9th fret play an exact 2/1. However, this causes a rather large amount of error in some lower frets (as well as, of course, the higher ones above fret 9):

Can the error be reduced? Yes, at the expense of having a smaller usable range of fretboard. For example, let's say we want to limit the maximum error to 10 cents. How many frets can we use at this level of accuracy?

The answer is six frets. (It's impossible to make the seventh fret more accurate without the error of the third fret exceeding 10 cents.) Perhaps surprisingly, this level of accuracy for the first six frets is only achievable by making the 9th fret at least 1249 cents, rather than 2/1.
