The 46 equal temperament, often abbreviated 46-tET, 46-EDO, or 46-ET, is the scale derived by dividing the octave into 46 equally-sized steps. Each step represents a frequency ratio of 26.087 cents, an interval close in size to 66/65, the interval from 13/11 to 6/5.
The 46 equal temperament, often abbreviated 46-tET, 46-EDO, or 46-ET, is the scale derived by dividing the [[octave]] into 46 equally-sized steps. Each step represents a frequency ratio of 26.087 [[cent]]s, an interval close in size to [[66_65|66/65]], the interval from [[13_11|13/11]] to [[6_5|6/5]].


46et tempers out 507/500, 91/90, 686/675, 2048/2025, 121/120, 245/243, 126/125, 169/168, 176/175, 896/891, 196/195, 1029/1024, 5120/5103, 385/384, and 441/440 among other intervals, with varied consequences it would take a very long article to describe. Rank two temperaments it supports include sensi, valentine, shrutar, rodan, leapday and unidec. The 11-limit [[Target tunings|minimax]] tuning for [[Starling family|valentine temperament]], (11/7)^(1/10), is only 0.01 cents flat of 3/46 octaves. In the opinion of some 46et is the first equal division to deal adequately with the 13-limit, though others award that distinction to [[41edo]].

The fifth of 46 equal is 2.39 cents sharp, which some people (eg, Margo Schulter) prefer, sometimes strongly, over both the just fifth and fifths of temperaments with flat fifths, such as meantone. It gives a characteristic bright sound to triads, distinct from the mellowness of a meantone triad.

46edo can be treated as two [[23edo]]'s separated by an interval of 26.09 cents.
