16ed5/3: Difference between revisions

Line 2:

'''16ed5/3''' is the [[Ed5/3|equal division of the just major sixth]] into sixteen parts of 55.2724 [[cent]]s each, corresponding to 21.7106[[edo]]. It is very closely related to the [[Escapade family|escapade temperament]]. It is vaguely equivalent to [[22edo]].

It very accurately approximates a number of low complexity just intervals, such as: [[4/3]] (<1¢), [[5/4]] (<1¢), [[11/8]] (<2¢), [[11/10]] (<1¢), [[16/15]] (<2¢), and [[25/16]] (<2¢). It also approximates the [[3/2|just fifth]] and [[~~2/1|~~octave]] to within 17¢, making it a flexible non-octave scale. Notably, having a period of [[5/3]], the diatonic minor third ([[6/5]]) is the period-reduced diatonic octave. This means both are approximated identically (16¢ sharp).
