'''74edo''' divides the [[octave]] into 74 equal parts of size 16.216 [[cent]]s each. It is most notable as a [[meantone]] tuning, tempering out [[81/80]] in the [[5-limit]]; 81/80 and [[126/125]] (and hence [[225/224]]) in the [[7-limit]]; [[99/98]], 176/175 and 441/440 in the [[11-limit]]; and [[144/143]] and 847/845 in the [[13-limit]]. Discarding 847/845 from that gives [[Meantone_family|13-limit meantone]], aka 13-limit [[huygens]], for which 74edo gives the [[optimal patent val]]; and discarding 144/143 gives a 13-limit 62&74 temperament with half-octave period and two parallel tracks of meantone. | '''74edo''' divides the [[octave]] into 74 equal parts of size 16.216 [[cent]]s each.

74 tunes 11 only 1/30 of a cent sharp, and 13 2.7 cents sharp, making it a distinctly interesting choice for higher-limit meantone. | 74 tunes 11 only 1/30 of a cent sharp, and 13 2.7 cents sharp, making it a distinctly interesting choice for higher-limit meantone. | ||
