198 equal divisions of the 304th harmonic (abbreviated 198ed304) is a nonoctave tuning system that divides the interval of 304/1 into 198 equal parts of about 50 ¢ each. Each step represents a frequency ratio of 3041/198, or the 198th root of 304.
Theory
The 304th harmonic is far too wide to be a useful equivalence, so 198ed304 is better thought of as a compressed version of 24edo. Indeed, tuning the 304/1 ratio just instead of 2/1 results in octaves being stretched by about 0.301 ¢. The local zeta peak around 24 is located at 24.005742, which has a step size of 49.98804 ¢ and an octave of 1199.713 ¢ (which is compressed by 0.287 ¢), making 198ed304 extremely close to optimal for 24edo.
