The '''equal division of 16/9''' ('''ed16/9''') is a [[tuning]] obtained by dividing the [[16/9|Pythagorean minor seventh (16/9)]] in a certain number of [[equal]] steps. An ed16/9 can be generated by taking every other tone of an [[ed4/3]], so even-numbered ed16/9's are integer ed4/3's. | The '''equal division of 16/9''' ('''ed16/9''') is a [[tuning]] obtained by dividing the [[16/9|Pythagorean minor seventh (16/9)]] in a certain number of [[equal]] steps.

The structural importance of 16/9 is suggested by its being the most common width for a [[tetrad]] in Western harmony, though it could be argued that this distinction belongs instead to [[7/4]] or [[9/5]] depending how one converts [[12edo|10\12]] into [[JI]]. | The structural importance of 16/9 is suggested by its being the most common width for a [[tetrad]] in Western harmony, though it could be argued that this distinction belongs instead to [[7/4]] or [[9/5]] depending how one converts [[12edo|10\12]] into [[JI]]. | ||
