I think that I am an ideal person to do this, because I ''am'' a beginner, so if I can write a page that even ''I'' can understand, then I think anyone will be able to understand it.

So far we’ve been dividing the pitch space of our interval into equal slices. So another way you could say '''12EDO''' or 12ED2/1, is '''12EPDO''' or 12EPD2/1. Another way you could say 10ED5/4 is 10EPD5/4.
