=== Octave stretch ===
Whether there is intonational improvement from [[stretched and compressed tuning|octave stretch and compression]] for 12edo varies by context. A slight compression such as what is given by [[40ed10]] and the [[The Riemann zeta function and tuning|zeta-optimized]] 99.81{{c}} step size shows improved intonation of harmonics 5 and 7 at the cost of worse 2 and 3, while stretching the octave for a purer 3 and for a better match of the inharmonicity on string instruments, like those in [[7edf]], [[19edt]], or [[31ed6]], also makes sense.
