It is possible to — instead of equally dividing the octave in 12 equal parts by pitch — divide it into 12 equal parts by '''length'''. You will have 12-ELDO.

You will have 12-ELDO. However, that's not exactly ideal because, as with arithmetic sequences, different acronyms are used to distinguish rational (JI) tunings from irrational (non-JI) tunings, and so ELD are typically reserved for irrational tunings, such as 12-ELDφ. So it would be more appropriate to name this tuning 12-UDO, for utonal divisions of the octave. | ||
