The 171 equal divisions of the octave (171edo), or the 171(-tone) equal temperament (171tet, 171et) when viewed from a regular temperament perspective, is the tuning system derived from dividing the octave into 171 parts of about 7.02 cents each, a size close to 225/224, the marvel comma.

Theory

171edo is a remarkable edo which serves as a microtemperament for the 7-limit, approximating the 9-odd-limit tonality diamond within about 2/5 of a cent. The excellence of its 7-limit approximations is good enough to make it the eleventh zeta integral edo but not enough to make it a zeta gap.

Remarkable 5-limit commas 171et tempers out are 32805/32768 (schisma), [1 -27 18 (ennealimma), [-14 -19 19 (enneadeca), and [-29 -11 20 (gammic comma), and remarkable 7-limit commas 171et tempers out are 2401/2400 (breedsma), 4375/4374 (ragisma), 65625/65536 (horwell comma), 250047/250000 (landscape comma), 420175/419904 (wizma), and 703125/702464 (meter comma). So 171et supports a number of 7-limit rank-2 temperaments: pontiac, sesquiquartififths, term, ennealimmal, tertiaseptal, supermajor, enneadecal, neptune, mitonic, and mutt. It notably provides the optimal patent val for the rank-3 horwell temperament, and is also an excellent tuning for the 5-limit schismatic microtemperament, tempering out 32805/32768, and the no-fives temperament tempering out [-59 39 0 -1 (nanisma).

171edo is much less accurate in the 11-limit, but still quite useful as it is a good tuning (emphasizing accuracy in the 7-limit) for the important rank-3 temperament jove, which tempers out 243/242 (rastma) and 441/440, not to mention 540/539 and 2401/2400. Jove can be extended by adding 364/363 for the 13-limit and 595/594 for the 17-limit, which 171edo also supports. Alternatively, the 171e val can be used, which tempers out 385/384.

171edo is an excellent tuning for the Carlos Gamma scale, since the difference between 5 steps of 171edo and 1 step of Carlos Gamma is only -0.010823 cents.

Subsets and supersets

171 factors into primes as 32 × 19, and 171edo shares the nearly pure 7/6 of 9edo and the nearly pure 6/5 of 19edo, with every 7-limit interval expressible in terms of 2, 6/5, 7/6, and any one of primes 3, 5, or 7.
