79edo adequately represents the temperament where a tone is considered to be [[10/9]] instead of [[9/8]]. In most temperaments, when the difference betweein 10/9 and 9/8 is tempered out, what really happens is that the 9/8 only note is used, and 10/9 is raised to be equal to 9/8. 79edo misses 9/8 while having a near-perfect representation of 10/9 as 12\79. Proposed name: decaononic, from "10 over 9".

It provides the optimal patent val for sentinel temperament. 79 is the 22nd prime EDO number.

79edo adequately represents the way of playing where a tone is considered to be 10/9 instead of 9/8. In 12edo and meantones close to it used predominantly in Western music), when the difference betweein 10/9 and 9/8 is tempered out, what really happens is that the 9/8 only note is used, and 10/9 is raised to be equal to 9/8. 79edo misses 9/8 while having a near-perfect representation of 10/9 as 12\79. A maximum evenness variant of such scale can be generated by naively stacking 6 12edo diatonic majors and 1 Lydian tetrachord. Since the final tetrachord doesn't have a 2nd degree, this results in 6 II's stretched over 6+7/12 octaves, which is just enough to make the log2 of the number to be equal to 10/9. From a regular temperament theory perspective, these scales are a part of the bluebirds temperament.
