| For the 5-, 7-, and 11-limit, stretch is advised, though in the case of the 11-limit the stretch should be way milder, whereas for the 13-limit and in particular the 17-limit, little to no stretch or even compression may be suitable for balancing out the sharp and flat tuning tendencies, as is demonstrated in tunings such as [[65edt]], [[106ed6]], and [[147ed12]]. | | For the 5- and 7-limit, a moderately stretched 41edo tuning is advised, such as the 7-limit [[WE]] or [[TE]] tuning for 41et. |
|
| |
|
| Primes 19, 29, and 31 all tend flat, so stretching will serve again as we take that into account, especially if we use the temperament in any no-17 or no-13 no-17 settings.
| | For the 11-limit, a slightly stretched 41edo tuning is advised, such as [[zpi|184zpi]]. |
|
| |
|
| What follows is a comparison of stretched- and compressed-octave 41edo tunings.
| | For the 13-limit, pure-octaves 41edo is advised. |

| * Step size: 29.248{{c}}, octave size: 1199.17{{c}}
| |
| Compressing the octave of 41edo by around 0.8{{c}} results in [[JND|unnoticeably]] improved primes 11, 17 and 23, but unnoticeably worse primes 2, 3, 5, 7, 13 and 19. This approximates all harmonics up to 16 within 7.6{{c}}. The tuning 24edf does this.
