One way to play ~~94-edo~~ on a two-~~dimension~~ grid is to put 7\94 between each column and 16\94 between each row of notes.

One way to play [[94edo]] on a two-dimensional grid is to put 7\94 between each column and 16\94 between each row of notes.

Among the possible layouts for 94-edo, the 7\94 x 16\94 system is remarkably convenient, in that every 13-limit interval spans at most 6 columns ("strings") and 8 rows ("frets"), and minor and major triads in close position fit in a 4x3 grid. In the 9-limit the octave is even more compact, spanning only 6 strings by 5 frets.

== Feasibility for stringed instruments ==

The 7\94 x 16\94 layout is feasible as a [[skip fretting]] system for stringed instruments. It requires only 94/7 = 13.429 frets per ~~edo~~. However, on an instrument with only 6 strings and 24 frets, there will be no unisons, and no octaves available for notes on the middle four strings.

The 7\94 x 16\94 layout is feasible as a [[skip fretting]] system for stringed instruments. It requires only 94/7 = 13.429 frets per octave. However, on an instrument with only 6 strings and 24 frets, there will be no unisons, and no octaves available for notes on the middle four strings.
