[[Gary Morrison]] originally conceived of 88-cent equal temperament as composed of steps of exactly 88¢. Nonetheless, composers have recognized a kinship between strict 88cET and some other scales – in particular, the 41ed8 (equivalent to taking three steps of [[41edo]] as a generator with no octaves), the [[8edf]], and the 11ed7/4, the latter being a preferred variant of composer and software designer [[X. J. Scott]]. These three cousins of strict 88cET have single steps of approximately 87.805¢, 87.744¢, and 88.075¢, respectively. These small differences add up, as can be seen by examining the interval list below. | [[Gary Morrison]] originally conceived of 88-cent equal temperament as composed of steps of exactly 88¢.
