We need a criterion that's objective as possible for when an EDO should be said to be good for JI subgroups. Some | We need a criterion that's objective as possible for when an EDO should be said to be good for JI subgroups. Some possibilities: | ||

# consistent to distance 1? (see new definition in [[Consistent]] page), The justification is that some small piece of the JI subgroup lattice (maybe to distance one of the "fundamental chord") should map "consistently" in the edo, in addition to the chord itself being consistent. | # consistent to distance 1?
