As the step size of 159edo is simultaneously above the average peak melodic [http://musictheory.zentral.zone/huntsystem2.html#2 JND] and small enough to be well within the margin of error between Just 5-limit intervals and their [[12edo]] counterparts, 159edo offers a decent balance between allowing the possibility of seamless modulation to keys that are not in the same series of fifths, and not having a step-size so small as to have individual steps blend completely into one another. | As the step size of 159edo is simultaneously above the average peak melodic [http://musictheory.zentral.zone/huntsystem2.html#2 JND] and small enough to be well within the margin of error between Just 5-limit intervals and their [[12edo]] counterparts, 159edo offers a decent balance between allowing the possibility of seamless modulation to keys that are not in the same series of fifths, and not having a step-size so small as to have individual steps blend completely into one another. | ||
