The '''phoenix''' tuning continuum ranges consists of a range of [[Equal-step Tuning|equally-tempered scales]] ranging from 63.5998 cents (which divides the just 9:5 interval into 16 equal parts, see [[16ed9/5]]), through 63.8141 cents (which divides the just perfect fifth into 11 equal parts, see [[11edf|11edf]]). All of these scales [[Stretched octave|stretch]] the [[octave]] by around 8 to 12 cents. A distinctive feature of phoenix-tuned scales is that prime-numbered [[harmonic]]s are, on average, approximated more reliably than composite ones. Concentrating the error around composites provides greater overall benefit to tempering.
