207zpi is the strongest zeta peak corresponding to [[45edo]], and serves as a [[https://en.xen.wiki/w/Stretched_and_compressed_tuning stretched-octave]] version thereof ([[2/1]] ≈ 1204.289¢). It substantially improves on 45edo's [[harmonic]] accuracy, with no non-powers of 2/1 below [[16/1]] exceeding 7.5¢ [[error]].

Crucially, due to the octave stretch, the 207zpi [[Patent val patent vals]] of [[9/1]] and [[15/1]] have the same values as their "b-vals" (the second best approximation of a [[Just Intonation]] interval in a tuning system) in 45edo ([[https://en.xen.wiki/w/Interval_class ''k'']]=142 and ''k''=175 steps for both systems); i.e. the already-sharp direct approximations of those harmonics in 45edo (''k''=143 and ''k''=176), which are not found within its [[flattone]] [[~~5L 2s~~ diatonic scale]], are "pushed out of the way" by the octave stretch within 207zpi. This means that the direct approximations of 9/1, 15/1 are now mapped to the diatonic scale, though this is not the case for their octave-reduced counterparts of [[9/8]] and [[15/8]] (''k''=8 and ''k''=41 in both systems).

Crucially, due to the octave stretch, the 207zpi [[[[Patent val|patent vals]]]] of [[9/1]] and [[15/1]] have the same values as their "b-vals" (the second best approximation of a [[Just Intonation]] interval in a tuning system) in 45edo ([[https://en.xen.wiki/w/Interval_class ''k'']]=142 and ''k''=175 steps for both systems); i.e. the already-sharp direct approximations of those harmonics in 45edo (''k''=143 and ''k''=176), which are not found within its [[flattone]] [[[[Diatonic scale|diatonic scale]]]], are "pushed out of the way" by the octave stretch within 207zpi.
