Line 1: Line 1:
Division of the just 49:1 interval into 173 equal parts yields a remarkable non-octave-equivalent equally tempered scale with step width very close to [[31edo|31edo]], yet it is much more suited to melodies and harmonies spanning more than one octave. The octaves in this scale are stretched by 7.3 cents, and the step width is about 0.23 cents wider than in 31edo (which has ''174'' equal steps in its tempered version of 49:1).

This scale and [[18edf|18edf]] perform almost identically except over very large distances.
