: '''Aura:''' This is the main system I use in writing [[microtonal]] music. After finishing the list of [[JI]] equivalents of the various steps of this EDO, I have since found that not only is 159edo very good for those who like to make more just versions of the [[quarter tone|quartertone-based intervals]] you see in [[24edo]], but is also very capable of approximating the steps of many lower EDOs within five [[cents]], making for some decent retunings of some of the more commonly used EDOs such as {{EDOs|22edo, 31edo, and even 41edo}}, which was part of the premise of "[[:File:Space Tour.mp3|Space Tour]]". Based on this discovery alone, I'd have to say that 159edo is not just a superset of [[53edo]], but rather, an EDO that is quite full of potential. However, the fact is that this EDO is [[consistent]] all the way up to the [[17-~~limi~~]], and has a good 23-[[prime]], and, should you skip the 17-prime, you have access to a decent 19-prime and 29-prime. This, and the fact that one has access to a bunch of [[microtemperament]]s in this EDO, all for a step-size that's slightly above the average [[JND]], means I can also perform other tricks in composition. I imagine at this point that some would ask me why I don't just use JI, and the answer is that even an EDO in the hundreds like 159edo is considerably more simple than JI, as you have to account for a lot of [[unnoticeable comma]]s in JI- a near-pointless endeavor as virtually nobody can hear such small differences in pitch.
