m Theory: Moved sentence about harmonics into the harmonica subheading. Moved octave stretch section to come immediately after harmonics because the latter naturally flows into the former, and most other Edo pages have a convention of subsets/supersets/divisors coming last in the theory section so I brought 42 back in line with that

42edo is on the [[optimal ET sequence]] of the [[Augmented family#eugene|eugene]], [[joan]], [[lemba]], [[neutron]], [[qeema]], [[seville]], [[sevond]], [[skateboard]], [[tritikleismic]] and [[vines]] temperaments.

While not an accurate tuning on the full 7-limit, 42edo does an excellent job on the 2.9.15.7.33.39 [[k*N subgroups|2*42 subgroup]], having the same tuning on it as does [[84edo]]. On this subgroup 42 has the same [[comma]]s as 84.


42edo is a diatonic edo because its 5th falls between 4\7 = 686¢ and 3\5 = 720¢. 42edo is one of the most difficult diatonic edos to notate, because no other diatonic edo's 5th is as sharp (see [[47edo]] for the opposite extreme).

Since 42 factors into {{factorization|42}}, 42edo contains subset edos {{EDOs| 2, 3, 6, 7, 14, and 21 }}.
