37edo is a scale derived from dividing the octave into 37 equal steps of approximately 32.43 cents each. It is the 12th [[prime_numbers|prime]] edo, following [[31edo|31edo]] and coming before [[41edo|41edo]].
== Theory ==
37edo has very accurate approximations of [[harmonic]]s [[5/1|5]], [[7/1|7]], [[11/1|11]] and [[13/1|13]], making it a good choice for a [[no-threes subgroup temperaments|no-threes]] approach. Harmonic 11 is particularly accurate, being only 0.03 cents sharp. A usable approximation of [[9/1|9]] is available at 6\37 (194.6 cents) as well, and the no-3 no-15 no-21 [[23-odd-limit]] is represented [[consistent]]ly.  


Using its best (and sharp) fifth, 37edo tempers out 250/243, making it a variant of [[Porcupine|porcupine]] temperament. (It is the optimal patent val for [[Porcupine_family#Porcupinefish|porcupinefish]], which is about as accurate as "13-limit porcupine" will be.) Using its alternative flat fifth, it tempers out 16875/16384, making it a [[Negri|negri]] tuning. It also tempers out 2187/2000, resulting in a temperament where three minor whole tones make up a fifth ([[Gorgo|gorgo]]/[[laconic|laconic]]).
This means 37edo is useful in a number of ways. It is accurate on the 2.5.7.11.13 [[subgroup]], where it shares the same tuning as [[111edo]]. In fact, on the larger [[k*N subgroups|3*37 subgroup]], 2.27.5.7.11.13.51.57, it not only shares the same tuning as 19-limit 111edo, but tempers out the same commas. A simpler but less accurate approach is to use the 2*37-subgroup, 2.9.7.11.13.17.19, on which it has the same tuning and commas as [[74edo]]. The native [[3/2|perfect fifth]] at 22\37 (713.5 cents) can also be used, making it a sharp-tending full [[13-limit]] system, and there is the alternative, very flat fifth at 21\37 (681.1 cents), which generates an [[2L 5s|antidiatonic]] scale.  


37 edo is also a very accurate equal tuning for Undecimation Temperament, which has a generator of about 519 cents; 2 generators lead to 29/16; 3 generators to 32/13; 6 generators to a 10 cent sharp 6/1; 8 generators to a very accurate 11/1 and 10 generators to 20/1. It has a 7L+2s nonatonic MOS, which in 37-edo scale degrees is 0, 1, 6, 11, 16, 17, 22, 27, 32, a scale structure reminiscent of mavila; as well as a 16 note MOS.

=== As a tuning of other temperaments ===
37edo offers close approximations to [[OverToneSeries|harmonics]] 5, 7, 11, and 13 [and a usable approximation of 9 as well].
Using its best (and sharp) fifth, 37edo tempers out 250/243, making it a variant of [[porcupine]] temperament. It is the [[optimal patent val]] for [[Porcupine family #Porcupinefish|porcupinefish]], which is about as accurate as 13-limit porcupine extensions will be. Using its alternative flat fifth, it tempers out [[16875/16384]], making it a [[negri]] tuning. It also tempers out 2187/2000, resulting in a temperament where three minor whole tones make up a fifth ([[gorgo]]/[[laconic]]).


12\37 = 389.2 cents
It is a good tuning of the 2.5.11.13 subgroup temperament [[barton]], especially if it is desirable to avoid approximating the perfect fifth.


30\37 = 973.0 cents
37edo is also a very accurate equal tuning for [[undecimation]] temperament, which has a [[generator]] of about 519 cents; 2 generators lead to 29/16; 3 generators to 32/13; 6 generators to a 10 cent sharp 6/1; 8 generators to a very accurate 11/1 and 10 generators to 20/1. It has a [[7L 2s]] enneatonic [[mos]], which in 37edo scale degrees is 0, 1, 6, 11, 16, 17, 22, 27, 32, a scale structure reminiscent of mavila; as well as a 16-note mos.


17\37 = 551.4 cents
=== Subsets and supersets ===
37edo is the 12th [[prime edo]], following [[31edo]] and coming before [[41edo]].  


26\37 = 843.2 cents
[[74edo]], which doubles it, provides an alternative approximation to harmonic 3 that supports [[meantone]]. [[111edo]], which triples it, gives a very accurate approximation of harmonic 3, and manifests itself as a great higher-limit system. [[296edo]], which slices its step in eight, is a good 13-limit system.


[6\37edo = 194.6 cents]
=== Dual fifths ===
The just [[perfect fifth]] of frequency ratio 3:2 is not well-approximated, and falls between two intervals in 37edo:


This means 37 is quite accurate on the 2.5.7.11.13 subgroup, where it shares the same tuning as 111et. In fact, on the larger [[k*N_subgroups|3*37 subgroup]] 2.27.5.7.11.13.51.57 subgroup not only shares the same tuning as 19-limit 111et, it tempers out the same commas. A simpler but less accurate approach is to use the 2*37-subgroup, 2.9.7.11.13.17.19, on which it has the same tuning and commas as 74et.
The flat fifth is 21\37 = 681.1 cents (37b val)
 
=The Two Fifths=
The just [[perfect_fifth|perfect fifth]] of frequency ratio 3:2 is not well-approximated, and falls between two intervals in 37edo:
 
The flat fifth is 21\37 = 681.1 cents


The sharp fifth is 22\37 = 713.5 cents
The sharp fifth is 22\37 = 713.5 cents
Line 43: Line 47:
"major third" = 14\37 = 454.1 cents
"major third" = 14\37 = 454.1 cents


If the minor third of 259.5 cents is mapped to 7/6, this superpythagorean scale can be thought of as a variant of [[The_Biosphere|Biome]] temperament.
If the minor third of 259.5 cents is mapped to 7/6, this superpythagorean scale can be thought of as a variant of [[The Biosphere|Oceanfront]] temperament.
 
37edo can only barely be considered as "dual-fifth", because the sharp fifth is 12 cents sharp of 3/2, has a regular diatonic scale, and can be interpreted as somewhat accurate regular temperaments like [[archy]] and the aforementioned oceanfront. In contrast, the flat fifth is 21 cents flat and the only low-limit interpretation is as the very inaccurate [[mavila]].


Interestingly, the "major thirds" of both systems are not 12\37 = 389.2¢, the closest approximation to 5/4 available in 37edo.
Since both fifths do not support [[meantone]], the "major thirds" of both systems are not 12\37 = 389.2¢, the closest approximation to 5/4 available in 37edo.


37edo has great potential as a near-just xenharmonic system, with high-prime chords such as 8:10:11:13:14 with no perfect fifths available for common terrestrial progressions. The 9/8 approximation is usable but introduces error. One may choose to treat either of the intervals close to 3/2 as 3/2, introducing additional approximations with considerable error (see interval table below).

=== Miscellaneous properties ===
37edo has the sharpest fifth of any edo that can possibly be [[diamond monotone]] in the [[15-odd-limit]]. The sharpest mapping of [[7/4]] where [[9/8]] is mapped no wider than [[8/7]] is 30\37, and the sharpest possible mapping of [[15/8]] where diamond monotone is achieveable is 34\37, where [[15/14]] is equated with [[14/13]][[~]][[13/12]] to half of [[7/6]]. Here [[5/4]] is mapped to 12\37, and [[10/9]] is mapped to 5\37. Equating both [[11/10]] and [[12/11]] with 10/9 makes the mappings for 9/8, 10/9, 11/10, and 12/11 add up to [[3/2]]. If the fifth was any sharper, then [[7/4]] and [[15/8]] would have to be flatter. Then 5/4 would have to be flatter, and therefore 10/9 as well, and at least one of 11/10 and 12/11 would have to be mapped wider than 10/9 for 9/8, 10/9, 11/10, and 12/11 to add up to 3/2. 37edo is, in fact, diamond monotone in the 15-odd-limit (see [[Monotonicity limits of small EDOs]]). Therefore, 22\37 is the sharpest fifth where 15-odd-limit diamond monotone is possible. The flattest fifth where 15-odd-limit diamond monotone is possible is [[19edo#Miscellaneous properties|11\19]].

== Notation ==
=== Stein–Zimmermann–Gould notation ===
[[Stein–Zimmermann–Gould notation]] uses sharps and flats combined with quartertone accidentals and arrows:
{{Sharpness-sharp6-szg}}
 
If double arrows are not desirable, arrows can be attached to quarter-tone accidentals:
{{Sharpness-sharp6-qt-szg}}
 
=== Kite's ups and downs notation ===
37edo can also be notated using [[Kite's ups and downs notation|Kite's ups and downs]], spoken as up, dup, trup, dudsharp, downsharp, sharp, upsharp etc. and down, dud, trud, dupflat etc.  
{{Sharpness-sharp6a}}
 
Half-sharps and half-flats can be used to avoid triple arrows:
{{Sharpness-sharp6b}}
 
=== Ivan Wyschnegradsky's notation ===
Since a sharp raises by six steps, Wyschnegradsky accidentals borrowed from [[72edo]] can also be used:
{{Sharpness-sharp6-iw}}
 
=== Sagittal notation ===
This notation uses the same sagittal sequence as edos [[23edo #Second-best fifth notation|23b]], [[30edo #Sagittal notation|30]], and [[44edo #Sagittal notation|44]].
