31edo can benefit from slightly [[stretched and compressed tuning|stretching the octave]], especially when using it as an 11-limit equal temperament. With the right amount of stretch we can find a slightly better 3rd harmonic and significantly better 11th harmonic at the expense of somewhat less accurate approximations of 5, 7, and 13. | 31edo can benefit from slightly [[stretched and compressed tuning|stretching the octave]], especially when using it as an [[11-limit]] equal temperament.
