Revision as of 21:07, 14 December 2025

A highly notable tuning system is 41edo, which is distinctly consistent and consistent to distance 2 in the 9-odd-limit, consistent to the 15-odd-limit, and is overall great for its size in all prime limits up to 13. However, the accuracy of some intervals is debateable, so we will construct a well temperament in order to fix this issue.

The chain of fifths

Our well temperament will be mainly based on a chain of fifths, and we will target harmonics 5, 7, 11, and 13. In 41edo, these prime harmonics are mapped as follows:

Prime Fifths
down
Fifths
up
5 -8 +33
7 -14 +27
11 -18 +23
13 -21 +20

Prime 5 is closest to the root on the circle of fifths; being only 8 fifth down due to 41edo tempering out the schisma. We build our well temperament down the chain of fifths to reach a more accurate prime 5, using slightly flat fifths of 701.738 ¢, or 1/9 schisma flat of just. We continue this chain of schismic fifths until we reach -10 fifths, or 10/9.
