∞edo would be a tuning with an infinite number of notes. However, it would be impossible to use since intervals are spaced like the real numbers. This means ∞edo recreates all harmonics PERFECTLY. Even the smallest of intervals are recreateable. But, you can’t use it. Even if you go up 1 googolplex intervals, you would still have the same note. Unfortunately, no songs will ever use this tuning… probably.
An '''equal division of the octave with infinitely many divisions''', abbreviated '''∞edo''', is a tuning system that divides the octave into infinitely many equal parts, each part being infinitesimally small.

This page presents a novelty topic.

It may contain ideas which are less likely to find practical applications in music, or numbers or structures that are arbitrary or exceedingly small, large, or complex.

Novelty topics are often developed by a single person or a small group. As such, this page may also contain idiosyncratic terms, notation, or conceptual frameworks.

An equal division of the octave with infinitely many divisions, abbreviated ∞edo, is a tuning system that divides the octave into infinitely many equal parts, each part being infinitesimally small.
