Among the possible [[skip fretting]] systems for 72-edo, the 27\72 x 2\72 (or equivalently, 4.5\12 x 1\36) system is especially convenient because every ratio in the 31-limit group sans 21 can be played within a block 4 strings wide by 15 frets long. (15 frets of 36-edo is as long as 5 frets of 12-edo, so none of those stretches are unreachable except near the nut.) | Among the possible [[skip fretting]] systems for 72-edo, the 27\72 x 2\72 (or equivalently, 4.5\12 x 1\36) system is especially convenient because every ratio in the 31-limit group sans 21 can be played within a block 4 strings wide by 15 frets long.
