The 304th harmonic is far too wide to be a useful equivalence, so 198ed304 is better thought of as a compressed version of [[24edo]]. Indeed, tuning the 304/1 ratio just instead of 2/1 results in octaves being [[stretched and compressed tuning|stretched]] by about 0.301{{c}}. The local [[The Riemann zeta function and tuning #Optimal octave stretch|zeta peak]] around 24 is located at 24.005742, which has a step size of 49.98804{{c}} and an octave of 1199.713{{c}} (which is compressed by 0.287{{c}}), making 198ed304 extremely close to optimal for 24edo.
