988edo provides excellent tuning for the 2, 3, 5, 11, 13, 19, 37, 43, 47, 53, and 59th harmonics, making a strong higher-limit system. It is double the famous [[494edo]], and with the same mapping for the 17-limit.

It is double the famous [[494edo]], and with the same mapping for the 17-limit. If considered in the 19-limit, it provides a good correction for the 19th harmonic over 494edo. The comma basis for such regular temperament is 1156/1155, 1275/1274, 1445/1444, 1716/1715, 2080/2079, 2431/2430, 4096/4095. | ||
An alternate mapping for 17 would be the 988g val, where it tempers out 2025/2023, 13013/13005, 15625/15606, 31213/31212. | An alternate mapping for 17 would be the 988g val, where it tempers out 2025/2023, 13013/13005, 15625/15606, 31213/31212. | ||
