:::::: Keep in mind that 159edo is going to be a LOT different from the low to mid (and even upper-mid) double digits EDOs. You get literally a lot finer control over how your chords sound. Of course, the downside is that you need an instrument (or group thereof) that can play that many pitches (or you need to be REALLY GOOD on a continuous-pitch instrument). Another thing I noticed is that in 11L 2s it is hard to choose a mode that lets you hit common 5-limit intervals without going off-scale with accidentals. (I need to see how that plays out with 7-limit intervals in an EDO that supports the 7-limit better than 24edo, like 37edo or 59edo or 61edo, although I noticed that if you go all the way afield to 50edo or 46edo, this scale shoots itself in the foot by not mapping intervals of ANY mode to 3/2 or 4/3, which map differently than in 11L 2s EDOs closer to 24EDO in the tuning spectrum. Not sure yet, but I think 17L 2s operating in in the 2.3.7... subgroup may have less of that problem.)

::::::: I know that 159edo is different to many of the smaller EDOs that you pointed out- there's a reason I chose to specialize in that particular tuning system. Furthermore I should mention that a 53edo-based instrument can have a few extra buttons added so that one may divide the step of 53edo into three- think the Neod, which is mentioned on the 159edo page. Of course, I think it pays to let people hear what 159edo is capable of by means of writing music for that tuning system in MuseScore Studio 4 or later and post the results to YouTube- that way, people might just be inspired to build the instruments necessary for live performance. --[[User:Aura|Aura]] ([[User talk:Aura|talk]]) 12:26, 7 April 2025 (UTC)

::::::: On another note, I'm not sure how 11L 2s fares in 159edo in terms of what it can reach, and while it is important to note that 11L 2s can't often hit common 5-limit intervals in as of itself, I should think that detempered versions of that MOS, as well as the MOS itself, could still be useful in 159edo, as that will expand my capabilities. --[[User:Aura|Aura]] ([[User talk:Aura|talk]]) 12:26, 7 April 2025 (UTC)
