29 is the lowest edo which approximates the [[3/2]] just fifth more accurately than [[12edo]]: 3/2 = 701.955… cents; 17 degrees of 29edo = 703.448… cents. Since the fifth is slightly sharp, 29edo is a [[Erv Wilson's Linear Notations|positive temperament]] – a Superpythagorean instead of a Meantone system. | 29 is the lowest edo which approximates the [[3/2]] just fifth more accurately than [[12edo]]: 3/2 = 701.955… cents; 17 degrees of 29edo = 703.448… cents.
