If 5/4 and 7/4 are not good enough, it also does 17/16 and 19/16, just like 12edo. In fact, on the [[k*N subgroups|2*25 subgroup]] 2.9.5.7.33.39.17.19 it provides the same tuning and tempers out the same commas as 50et, which makes for a wide range of harmony. | If 5/4 and 7/4 are not good enough, it also does 17/16 and 19/16, just like 12edo.

Its step of 48{{c}}, as well as the octave-inverted and octave-equivalent versions of it, holds the distinction for having very [[harmonic entropy]] | Its step of 48{{c}}, as well as the octave-inverted and octave-equivalent versions of it, holds the distinction for having a very high [[harmonic entropy]]. This is because the harmonic entropy model is usually tuned to reflect the general perception of quarter-tones being the most dissonant intervals. This property is shared with all edos between around 20 and 30. Intervals smaller than this tend to be perceived as unison and are more consonant as a result; intervals larger than this have less "tension" and thus are also more consonant. | ||
