8 edo is a weird and special case so I implemented it a bit differently here but made it as similar as possible. All other pages will be way more normal and Standardised than this.

8edo's approximation of [[JI]] can be improved via [[octave shrinking]]. Compressing 8edo's octave from 1200 [[cent]]s down to 1187 cents gives the tuning called [[29ed12]].

Of all prime [[harmonic]]s up to 31, pure-octave 8edo only manages to approximate 2/1 and 19/1 within 15 [[cents]], completely missing all the others.
