As this edo is right on the border of what I consider to be the macrotonal edos, 1 degree of 9edo has a particular quality to it that makes it sound like a semitone in some contexts and a neutral second in other contexts. My piece ''[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1D2_6LsRsPM Elegy of the Willow]'' illustrates this by including many chromaticisms, sometimes in the context of a chromatic scale and sometimes in the context of cadential motion.

Other inspiring works in this temperament include [https://youtu.be/O9fJnq-WkqQ?si=3tIsJpfrOHkWZLt2 ''Buttered Cat Paradox''] by Xolta and [https://youtu.be/oXe1mSIMrho?si=_dX7MiN3AgVPPnXm ''Caelum''] by miaxia. ''Caelum'' especially illustrates the nature that I've described, leading me to believe 9edo works best in such a style. The demo I wrote for this edo, however, is nowhere near the style of any of these pieces, yet I think it works quite well. The aforementioned "ghostly" quality of 9edo, particularly the fifth, gives the tango an "abandoned" quality that would fit well in ~~an abandoned ghost~~ town, like the Hidden Village from The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess.

Overall, a very solid edo. You can choose to avoid the dissonant fifth or embrace it, with both approaches leading to an incredible sound. It's surprisingly versatile, more so than any edo smaller than it, putting it above 7edo~~. More people should use 9edo~~.
