111edo is [[consistent]] through to the [[21-odd-limit]], and is the smallest edo [[distinctly consistent]] through the [[15-odd-limit]], marking it as an important higher limit tuning.

It has a sharp tendency, with [[prime harmonic|primes]] 3 through 19 all tuned sharp. Since {{nowrap| 111 {{=}} 3 × 37 }}, 111edo shares the mappings for [[5/1|5]], [[7/1|7]], [[11/1|11]], and [[13/1|13]] with [[37edo]]. | ||
It is also significant for lower limits, especially in terms of what it [[tempering out|tempers out]] in its [[patent val]]; for example, it tempers out [[176/175]] and gives an excellent [[optimal patent val]] for the corresponding [[11-limit]] [[rank-4 temperament]]. | It is also significant for lower limits, especially in terms of what it [[tempering out|tempers out]] in its [[patent val]]; for example, it tempers out [[176/175]] and gives an excellent [[optimal patent val]] for the corresponding [[11-limit]] [[rank-4 temperament]]. In fact in the [[7-limit]] it tempers out [[1728/1715]], [[3136/3125]], and [[5120/5103]], and in the 11-limit, 176/175, [[540/539]], [[1331/1323]], [[1375/1372]]. | ||
It further tempers out among others [[351/350]], [[352/351]], [[640/637]], [[676/675]], [[847/845]], [[1001/1000]], [[1188/1183]], [[1573/1568]] in the 13-limit; [[256/255]], [[325/324]], [[442/441]] in the 17-limit; [[286/285]], [[400/399]], [[476/475]] in the 19-limit. It excels as a full [[23-limit]] temperament, tempering out [[253/252]] and [[276/275]]. The [[23/1|23]] is tuned a little flat, unlike the lower primes. [[23/19]], [[23/21]] and their [[octave complement]]s are the only inconsistently mapped intervals in the [[23-odd-limit]]. | |||
It is a particularly good tuning for the 11- or 13-limit versions of [[semisept]], the {{nowrap| 31 & 80 }} temperament, and [[buzzard]], the {{nowrap| 53 & 58 }} temperament. [[Gene Ward Smith]]'s trio in [[#Music]] section is in [[guanyin]] temperament, the [[rank-3 temperament]] [[tempering out]] 176/175 and 540/539, for which 111 also provides the optimal patent val. | It is a particularly good tuning for the 11- or 13-limit versions of [[semisept]], the {{nowrap| 31 & 80 }} temperament, and [[buzzard]], the {{nowrap| 53 & 58 }} temperament.
