The '''11-limit''' consists of all [[Just intonation|justly tuned]] intervals whose numerators and denominators are both products of the primes 2, 3, 5, 7 and 11. Some examples of 11-limit intervals are [[14/11]], [[11/8]], [[27/22]] and [[99/98]]. The 11 odd-limit consists of intervals whose numerators and denominators, when all factors of two have been removed, are less than or equal to 11. Reduced to an octave, these are the ratios 1/1, 12/11, 11/10, 10/9, 9/8, 8/7, 7/6, 6/5, 11/9, 5/4, 14/11, 9/7, 4/3, 11/8, 7/5, 10/7, 16/11, 3/2, 14/9, 11/7, 8/5, 18/11, 5/3, 12/7, 7/4, 16/9, 9/5, 20/11, 11/6, 2/1. In an 11-limit system, all the ratios of the 11 odd-limit can be treated as potential consonances.

== Intervals 1 ==
While the [[7-limit]] introduces subminor and supermajor intervals, which can sound like dramatic inflections of the familiar interval categories of [[12edo]], the 11-limit introduces neutral intervals, [[superfourth]]s and [[subfifth]]s, which fall in between major, minor and perfect [[interval category|interval categories]] and thus demand new distinctions. It is thus inescapably xenharmonic.
 
Examples of [[EDO]]s which represent 11-limit intervals well include: {{EDOs|22, 26, 31, 41, 46, 63, 72, 87, 109, 118, 152, and 161edo }}.
