The [[EDO]]s: {{EDOs|21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28 & 29}} use a quartertone as their smallest step size. EDOs slightly larger or smaller are sometimes argued to do the same. This makes quartertones structurally important to those EDOs. They may sometimes also be used as melodic intervals depending on the approach taken. | The [[EDO]]s: {{EDOs|21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28 & 29}} use a quartertone as their smallest step size.
