The 22-et system is in fact the third equal division, after 12 and 19, which is capable of tolerably dealing with 5-limit music. However, there is more to it than that; unlike 12 or 19 it is able to do rough justice to the 7- and 11-limits. While [[31edo|31 equal temperament]] does much better, 22-et at least allows the use of these higher-limit harmonies. Moreover, 22-et, unlike 12 and [[19edo|19]], is not a [[Regular Temperaments#meantone|meantone]] system. The net effect is that 22 allows, and to some extent even forces, the exploration of less familiar musical territory, yet is small enough that it can be used in live performances with suitably designed instruments, such as 22-tone guitars and the like. | The 22-et system is in fact the third equal division, after 12 and 19, which is capable of tolerably dealing with 5-limit music.
