History: this is a point about equal divisions in general, not equal divisions of the octave. and it wasn't presently entirely correctly anyway; no one actually writes "EPD", it is rather the case that ED was understood as E(P)D and extended to EFD and ELD

A tuning with ''n'' equal divisions of the octave is usually called "''n''-edo" ("''n''-EDO"). For instance, the predominant tuning system in the world today is [[12edo]] (12-EDO).

An edo is a specific case of [[EPD|equal pitch division]], which is a kind of [[equal-step tuning]]. Therefore, it is also a kind of [[Arithmetic tunings|arithmetic]] and [[Harmonotonic tunings|harmonotonic]] tuning.
An equal (pitch) division of the octave is the most common type of [[EPD|equal (pitch) division]], which is a kind of [[equal-step tuning]]. Therefore, it is also a kind of [[Arithmetic tunings|arithmetic]] and [[Harmonotonic tunings|harmonotonic]] tuning.
