The 3 is the only harmonic, of the intelligibly low ones anyway, that 29edo approximates very closely, and it does so quite well. Nonetheless, and rather surprisingly, 29 is the smallest equal division which [[consistent]]ly represents the [[15-odd-limit]]. It is able to do this since it has an accurate 3, and the 5, 7, 11 and 13, while not very accurate, are all tuned flatly. Hence it tempers out a succession of fairly large commas: 250/243 in the [[5-limit]], 49/48 in the [[7-limit]], 55/54 in the [[11-limit]], and 65/64 in the [[13-limit]]. If using these approximations is desired, 29edo actually shines, and it can be used for such things as an alternative to [[19edo]] for [[negri]], as well as an alternative to [[22edo]] or [[15edo]] for [[porcupine]]. 29edo is also an [[oneirotonic]] tuning with generator 11\29, which generates [[ammonite]] temperament. | The 3 is the only harmonic, of the intelligibly low ones anyway, that 29edo approximates very closely, and it does so quite well.

Another possible use for 29edo is as an equally tempered para-pythagorean scale. Using its fifth as a generator leads to a variant of [[garibaldi temperament]] which is not very accurate but which has relatively low 13-limit complexity. However, it gives the POL2 generator for [[Chromatic pairs #Edson|edson temperament]] with essentially perfect accuracy, only 0.034 cents sharp of it. | Another possible use for 29edo is as an equally tempered para-pythagorean scale.

29edo's relative error is lower than any previous edo in the [[23-limit]] using the 29g val. It's even stronger when taken as a no 17's system where it is consistent to the [[23-odd-limit]]. It tempers out 77/76 and [[133/132]] in the no 17's [[19-limit]]. and 70/69 and 115/114 in the no 17's 23-limit. 8 steps of 29-edo is only 0.273 cents away from [[23/19]]. | |||
