[[12edo]] was the standard tuning back in the early 21st century. In 2027, a group of microtonalists made a series of videos and articles introducing microtonal music theory. A few months later, they became popular online. More and more people, including musicians, were becoming interested in alternate tunings besides 12edo.

In 2030s, after hundreds of years composing mostly in 12edo, with AI speeding up composition, it became difficult to write new 12edo music. Therefore, many composers thought of microtonal music almost at the same time.

In 2030s, after hundreds of years composing mostly in 12edo, with AI speeding up composition, it became difficult to write new 12edo music. Therefore, many composers thought of microtonal music almost at the same time. Microtonal melody and harmony, especially [[7-limit]] harmony, became common in popular music.

However, there was not a widely-accepted system that describes the new intervals well enough back then. [[Cent]] values appear to be more physical than musical, since they say little about whether an interval is consonant, and [[JI]] ratios are sometimes unflexible for describing the continuous set of possible pitches. The musicians decided to choose a large [[EDO]] that approximates simple JI intervals well as the new standard tuning. Different EDOs were proposed, namely [[53edo|53]], [[72edo|72]], [[99edo|99]], [[130edo|130]], [[140edo|140]], [[159edo|159]], [[171edo|171]], [[224edo|224]], [[270edo|270]] and [[311edo|311]]. Finally 171edo was chosen because it has very accurate 7-limit and its step size is close to melodic [[JND]].

In 2050, a new standard of digital music based on 171edo was released.
