To find the step size of ''n''-edo in terms of [[frequency ratio]], take the ''n''-th root of 2. For example, the step of 12edo is 2<sup>1/12</sup> (≈ 1.059). So the ratio '' | To find the step size of ''n''-edo in terms of [[frequency ratio]], take the ''n''-th root of 2. For example, the step of 12edo is 2<sup>1/12</sup> (≈ 1.059).
