Mathematics: We need to define DE in terms of ME, since we have a canonical example of a distributionally even set.

Example 2: 37edo's 11/8: actually name these
Line 42: Line 42:
Let's say we want to see what would repeatedly stacking 11th harmonic do well in all of 11-limit, in an EDO that presents it well.

11/8 amounts to 17 steps of 37edo, and the solution to the problem 17*x mod 1 = 37 is 24, meaning if the generator is 11/8, we are dealing with a 24 tone maximally even scale. As such, the temperament we are looking for is 24 & 37. The commas that are offered are 2662/2625, 2744/2673, and 3733/3645.
