Template:EDO intro

From a regular temperament perspective, 1440edo only has a consistency limit of 3 and does poorly with approximating lower harmonics. However, 1440edo is worth considering as a higher-limit system, where it has excellent representation of the 2.15.17.19.21.23 subgroup. It may also be considered as every third step of 4320edo in this regard.
