Clarified what LeapWeek[71] and LeapDay[97] are, and also discovered that LeapDay97's generator is 33\400 and also edited accordingly.

400edo doubles [[200edo]], which holds a record for the best 3/2 fifth approximation.

400 is also the number of years in the Gregorian calendar's leap cycle. 400edo supports the Sym454 calendar scale with 231\400 as the generator, which is close to 5/12 syntonic comma meantone. The leap week scale offers an interest in that 1/7th of its generator, 33\400, is associated to [[18/17]], making it an approximation of [[18/17 equal-step tuning]]. Since it tempers out the 93347/93312, a stack of three 18/17's is equated with 19/16.  
400 is also the number of years in the Gregorian calendar's leap cycle. 400edo supports the LeapWeek[71] scale with 231\400 as the generator, which is close to 5/12 syntonic comma meantone. Likewise, 400edo contains LeapDay[97] scale, which is a [[maximal evenness]] version of the leap rule currently in use in the world today. The scale has a 33\400 generator which is associated to [[18/17]], making it an approximation of [[18/17 equal-step tuning]]. Since it tempers out the 93347/93312, a stack of three 18/17's is equated with 19/16.
