'''47edo''' divides the octave into 47 equal parts of 25.532{{cent}} each. It has a fifth which is 12.593{{cent}} flat, unless you use the alternative fifth which is 12.939{{cent}} sharp, similar to 35edo. It has therefore not aroused much interest, but its best approximation to 9/8 is actually quite good, one-third of a cent sharp. It does a good job of approximating the 2.9.5.7.33.13.17.57.69 23-limit [[k*N_subgroups|2*47 subgroup]] of the [[23-limit]], on which it tempers out the same commas as [[94edo]]. It provides a good tuning for [[Chromatic_pairs#Baldy|baldy]] and [[Chromatic_pairs#Silver|silver]] temperaments and relatives.
47edo is the first edo that has two [[5L 2s|diatonic]] perfect fifths, as both fall between {{nowrap|4\7 {{=}} 686{{c}}}} and {{nowrap|3\5 {{=}} 720{{c}}}}. The fifth closest to [[3/2]] is 12.593-cent flat, unless you use the alternative fifth which is 12.939-cent sharp, similar to [[35edo]]. The soft diatonic scale generated from its flat fifth is so soft, with {{nowrap|L:s {{=}} 7:6}}, that it stops sounding like [[meantone]] or even a [[flattone]] system like [[26edo]] or [[40edo]], but just sounds like a [[circulating temperament]] of [[7edo]]. The hard diatonic scale generated from its sharp fifth is extremely hard, with {{nowrap|L:s {{=}} 9:1}}. It has therefore not aroused much interest, but its best approximation to [[9/8]] is actually quite good, one-third-of-a-cent sharp.


47edo is the 15th [[prime EDO]], following [[43edo]] and preceding [[53edo]].
47edo is one of the most difficult diatonic edos to notate in [[native fifth notation|native fifths]], because no other diatonic edo's fifth is as extreme.  


47edo is a diatonic edo because its 5th falls between 4\7 = 686{{cent}} and 3\5 = 720{{cent}}, as does its alternate 5th as well. 47edo is one of the most difficult diatonic edos to notate, because no other diatonic edos 5th is as flat (see [[42edo]] for the opposite extreme).
=== Odd harmonics ===
 
{{Harmonics in equal|47}}
A notation using the best 5th has major and minor 2nds of 7 and 6 edosteps respectively, with the naturals creating a 7edo-like scale:
 
D * * * * * * E * * * * * F * * * * * * G * * * * * * A * * * * * * B * * * * * C * * * * * * D
 
D# is next to D. This notation requires triple, quadruple and in some keys, quintuple or more sharps and flats. For example, a 0-15-27-38 chord (an approximate 4:5:6:7) on the note three edosteps above D would be spelled either as D#<sup>3</sup> - F#<sup>5</sup> - A#<sup>3</sup> - C# or as Eb<sup>4</sup> - Gbb - Ab<sup>4</sup> - Db<sup>6</sup>. This is an aug-three double-dim-seven chord, written D#<sup>3</sup>(A3)dd7 or Eb<sup>4</sup>(A3)dd7. It could also be called a sharp-three triple-flat-seven chord, written D#<sup>3</sup>(#3)b<sup>3</sup>7 or Eb<sup>4</sup>(#3)b<sup>3</sup>7.
 
Using the 2nd best 5th is even more awkward. The major 2nd is 9 edosteps and the minor is only one. The naturals create a 5edo-like scale, with two of the notes inflected by a comma-sized edostep:


D * * * * * * * * E F * * * * * * * * G * * * * * * * * A * * * * * * * * B C * * * * * * * * D
47edo does a good job of approximating the 2.9.5.7.33.13.17.57.69 23-limit [[k*N subgroups|2*47 subgroup]] of the [[23-limit]], on which it tempers out the same commas as [[94edo]]. It provides a good tuning for [[baldy]] and [[silver]] and their relatives. It also provides a good tuning for the [[baseball]] temperament.


D# is next to E. This notation requires quadruple, quintuple, and even sextuple ups and downs, as well as single sharps and flats.
47edo can be treated as a [[dual-fifth system]] in the 2.3+.3-.5.7.13 subgroup, or the 3+.3-.5.7.11+.11-.13 subgroup for those who aren’t intimidated by lots of [[basis element]]s. As a dual-fifth system, it really shines, as both of its fifths have low enough [[harmonic entropy]] to sound [[consonant]] to many listeners, giving two consonant intervals for the price of one.


{{Harmonics in equal|47}}
=== Subsets and supersets ===
47edo is the 15th [[prime edo]], following [[43edo]] and preceding [[53edo]], so it does not contain any nontrivial subset edos, though it contains [[47ed4]]. [[94edo]], which doubles it, corrects its approximations of harmonics 3 and 11 to near-just qualities.

== Notation ==
[[Category:Prime EDO]]
A notation using the best 5th has major and minor 2nds of 7 and 6 edosteps respectively, with the naturals creating a 7edo-like scale:
[[Category:Subgroup]]
 
D * * * * * * E * * * * * F * * * * * * G * * * * * * A * * * * * * B * * * * * C * * * * * * D
 
D# is next to D. This notation requires triple, quadruple and in some keys, quintuple or more sharps and flats. For example, a 0-15-27-38 chord (an approximate 4:5:6:7) on the note three edosteps above D would be spelled either as D#<sup>3</sup> - F#<sup>5</sup> - A#<sup>3</sup> - C# or as Eb<sup>4</sup> - Gbb - Ab<sup>4</sup> - Db<sup>6</sup>. This is an aug-three double-dim-seven chord, written D#<sup>3</sup>(A3)dd7 or Eb<sup>4</sup>(A3)dd7. It could also be called a sharp-three triple-flat-seven chord, written D#<sup>3</sup>(#3)b<sup>3</sup>7 or Eb<sup>4</sup>(#3)b<sup>3</sup>7.
 
Using the 2nd best 5th is even more awkward. The major 2nd is 9 edosteps and the minor is only one. The naturals create a 5edo-like scale, with two of the notes inflected by a comma-sized edostep:
 
D * * * * * * * * E F * * * * * * * * G * * * * * * * * A * * * * * * * * B C * * * * * * * * D
 
D# is next to E. This notation requires quadruple, quintuple, and even sextuple ups and downs, as well as single sharps and flats.
 
=== Ups and downs notation ===
Using [[Helmholtz–Ellis]] accidentals and the sharp fifth, 47edo can be notated using [[ups and downs notation|ups and downs]]:
{{Sharpness-sharp8}}
 
With the flat fifth, notation is identical to standard notation:
{{Sharpness-sharp1}}

47 equal divisions of the octave (abbreviated 47edo or 47ed2), also called 47-tone equal temperament (47tet) or 47 equal temperament (47et) when viewed under a regular temperament perspective, is the tuning system that divides the octave into 47 equal parts of about 25.5 ¢ each. Each step represents a frequency ratio of 21/47, or the 47th root of 2.

Theory

47edo is the first edo that has two diatonic perfect fifths, as both fall between 4\7 = 686 ¢ and 3\5 = 720 ¢. The fifth closest to 3/2 is 12.593-cent flat, unless you use the alternative fifth which is 12.939-cent sharp, similar to 35edo. The soft diatonic scale generated from its flat fifth is so soft, with L:s = 7:6, that it stops sounding like meantone or even a flattone system like 26edo or 40edo, but just sounds like a circulating temperament of 7edo. The hard diatonic scale generated from its sharp fifth is extremely hard, with L:s = 9:1. It has therefore not aroused much interest, but its best approximation to 9/8 is actually quite good, one-third-of-a-cent sharp.

47edo is one of the most difficult diatonic edos to notate in native fifths, because no other diatonic edo's fifth is as extreme.

47edo does a good job of approximating the 2.9.5.7.33.13.17.57.69 23-limit 2*47 subgroup of the 23-limit, on which it tempers out the same commas as 94edo. It provides a good tuning for baldy and silver and their relatives. It also provides a good tuning for the baseball temperament.

47edo can be treated as a dual-fifth system in the 2.3+.3-.5.7.13 subgroup, or the 3+.3-.5.7.11+.11-.13 subgroup for those who aren’t intimidated by lots of basis elements. As a dual-fifth system, it really shines, as both of its fifths have low enough harmonic entropy to sound consonant to many listeners, giving two consonant intervals for the price of one.

Subsets and supersets

47edo is the 15th prime edo, following 43edo and preceding 53edo, so it does not contain any nontrivial subset edos, though it contains 47ed4. 94edo, which doubles it, corrects its approximations of harmonics 3 and 11 to near-just qualities.

Notation

A notation using the best 5th has major and minor 2nds of 7 and 6 edosteps respectively, with the naturals creating a 7edo-like scale:

D * * * * * * E * * * * * F * * * * * * G * * * * * * A * * * * * * B * * * * * C * * * * * * D

D# is next to D. This notation requires triple, quadruple and in some keys, quintuple or more sharps and flats. For example, a 0-15-27-38 chord (an approximate 4:5:6:7) on the note three edosteps above D would be spelled either as D#3 - F#5 - A#3 - C# or as Eb4 - Gbb - Ab4 - Db6. This is an aug-three double-dim-seven chord, written D#3(A3)dd7 or Eb4(A3)dd7. It could also be called a sharp-three triple-flat-seven chord, written D#3(#3)b37 or Eb4(#3)b37.

Using the 2nd best 5th is even more awkward. The major 2nd is 9 edosteps and the minor is only one. The naturals create a 5edo-like scale, with two of the notes inflected by a comma-sized edostep:

D * * * * * * * * E F * * * * * * * * G * * * * * * * * A * * * * * * * * B C * * * * * * * * D

D# is next to E. This notation requires quadruple, quintuple, and even sextuple ups and downs, as well as single sharps and flats.

Ups and downs notation

Using Helmholtz–Ellis accidentals and the sharp fifth, 47edo can be notated using ups and downs:

Step offset 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19
Sharp symbol  
Flat symbol

With the flat fifth, notation is identical to standard notation:

Step offset −2 −1 0 +1 +2
