Theory

581edo is a very strong 19- and 23-limit system, distinctly consistent to the 25-odd-limit. It tempers out 2401/2400 in the 7-limit, 3025/3024, 19712/19683, 151263/151250 in the 11-limit, and 2080/2079, 4096/4095, 4225/4224, 6656/6655 and 10648/10647 in the 13-limit. It supports and gives a good tuning for newt, the 270 & 311 microtemperament, which features a neutral-third generator.

• 581et has a lower relative error than any previous equal temperaments in the 19- and 23-limit. It is the first after 270 with a lower 19-limit relative error, and the first after 311 with a lower 23-limit relative error. It is only bettered by 742 in terms of either 19-limit absolute error or 19-limit relative error, by 718 in terms of 23-limit absolute error, and not until 1578 do we reach a lower 23-limit relative error.
• 581et is also notable in the 17-limit, where it has a lower absolute error than any previous equal temperaments, past 494 and followed by 742.
