The equal division of 5/4 (ed5/4) is a tuning obtained by dividing the just major third (5/4) in a certain number of equal steps.

Introduction

Division of 5/4 into equal parts does not necessarily imply directly using this interval as an equivalence. The question of equivalence is still in its infancy. The utility of 5/4 as a base though, is apparent by providing a novel consonance after 3, and being the octave-reduced basis for 5-limit harmony. Many, if not all, of these scales have a perceptually important pseudo (false) octave, with various degrees of accuracy.

5/4 is particularly narrow as far as equivalences go and it is difficult to fit consonant chords in it, so we might consider using 5/42 = 25/16 as the equivalence instead.
