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 edo|zeta gap]]. | 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.

Remarkable 5-limit commas 171et [[tempering out|tempers out]] are 32805/32768 ([[schisma]]), {{monzo| 1 -27 18 }} ([[ennealimma]]), {{monzo| -14 -19 19 }} ([[enneadeca]]), and {{monzo| -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 | Remarkable 5-limit commas 171et [[tempering out|tempers out]] are 32805/32768 ([[schisma]]), {{monzo| 1 -27 18 }} ([[ennealimma]]), {{monzo| -14 -19 19 }} ([[enneadeca]]), and {{monzo| -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]]). So 171et [[support]]s 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 [[helmholtz|schismatic microtemperament]], tempering out 32805/32768, and the no-fives temperament tempering out {{monzo| -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 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.
