We may define the ''strict zeta edos'' to be the edos that are in all four of the above lists. The list of strict zeta edos begins {{EDOs|2, 5, 7, 12, 19, 31, 53, 270, 1395, 1578, 8539, 14348, 58973}}... . | We may define the ''strict zeta edos'' to be the edos that are in all four of the above lists.

The following | The following lists of edos are not determined by successively large measured values, they are edos that satisfy some other property relating to zeta peaks instead. | ||
'''Local zeta edos'''{{idiosyncratic}} | |||
Edos with a higher zeta peak than the edos on either side of them. A helpful list for finding edos that approximate primes well in size ranges that lack any record-holding zeta edos (e.g. between 60 and 70 tones). | |||
{{EDOs|5, 7, 10, 12, 15, 17, 19, 22, 24, 27, 29, 31, 34, 36, 38, 41, 43, 46, 48, 50, 53, 56, 58, 60, 63, 65, 68, 72, 75, 77, 79, 80, 82, 84, 87, 89, 91, 94, 96, 99}}… | {{EDOs|5, 7, 10, 12, 15, 17, 19, 22, 24, 27, 29, 31, 34, 36, 38, 41, 43, 46, 48, 50, 53, 56, 58, 60, 63, 65, 68, 72, 75, 77, 79, 80, 82, 84, 87, 89, 91, 94, 96, 99}}… | ||
Edos with a lower zeta peak than the edos on either side of them | '''Anti-zeta edos'''{{idiosyncratic}} | ||
Edos with a lower zeta peak than the edos on either side of them. A helpful list for finding edos that force the use of methods other than traditional concordant harmony, or for composers seeking a challenge to inspire creativity. | |||
{{EDOs|6, 8, 11, 13, 16, 18, 20, 23, 25, 28, 30, 33, 35, 37, 40, 42, 44, 47, 49, 52, 54, 57, 59, 61, 64, 66, 69, 71, 73, 76, 78, 81, 83, 86, 88, 90, 92, 95, 97}}… | {{EDOs|6, 8, 11, 13, 16, 18, 20, 23, 25, 28, 30, 33, 35, 37, 40, 42, 44, 47, 49, 52, 54, 57, 59, 61, 64, 66, 69, 71, 73, 76, 78, 81, 83, 86, 88, 90, 92, 95, 97}}… | ||
Edos which are neither local zeta edos, nor anti-zeta edos | '''Indecisive edos'''{{idiosyncratic}} | ||
Edos which are neither local zeta edos, nor anti-zeta edos. Helpful for finding edos that are more restrictive than local zeta edos, but not as far off the deep end as anti-zeta edos. They might narrow down the range of compositional choices available so as to be not so much to promote indecision, but not so few as to promote frustration. | |||
{{EDOs|1, 2, 3, 4, 9, 14, 21, 26, 32, 39, 45, 51, 54, 62, 67, 70, 74, 85, 93, 98}}… | {{EDOs|1, 2, 3, 4, 9, 14, 21, 26, 32, 39, 45, 51, 54, 62, 67, 70, 74, 85, 93, 98}}… | ||
'''Parker edos'''{{idiosyncratic}} | |||
Those non-Zeta-peak edos with a higher Zeta peak than any other non-Zeta-peak edo so far. Named after the Parker square in mathematics. A helpful list for finding an alternative to any given Zeta peak edo of similar size and accuracy but with different regular temperament properties (e.g. 9 as alternative to 10, 17 as alternative to 19). | |||
