21-edo provides both 7-edo as a subset and the familiar 400-cent major third, while also giving some higher-limit JI possibilities. The system can be treated as three intertwining 7-edo or "equi-heptatonic" scales, or as seven 3-edo ''augmented'' triads. The 7/4 at 968.826 cents is only off in 21-tone by 2.6 cents, which is better than any other EDO <26. | 21-edo provides both 7-edo as a subset and the familiar 400-cent major third, while also giving some higher-limit JI possibilities.
