Size-aware heuristic ranking of EDOs

EDOs can be ranked using the heuristic score [math]\displaystyle{ S = H^p/x }[/math], where [math]\displaystyle{ H }[/math] is the height of the highest zeta peak associated with the EDO, and [math]\displaystyle{ x }[/math] is that peak's unrounded steps-per-octave value. Each peak is assigned to the nearest EDO by rounding [math]\displaystyle{ x }[/math] to the nearest integer.

The exponent [math]\displaystyle{ p }[/math] controls the balance between peak height and the number of steps per octave. Here, we use [math]\displaystyle{ p = 3 }[/math], an arbitrary choice that appears to give a useful balance for this ranking.

Using the first 10,000 zeta peaks and setting [math]\displaystyle{ p = 3 }[/math] in the heuristic score [math]\displaystyle{ S = H^p/x }[/math], the EDOs whose selected peaks satisfy [math]\displaystyle{ x \ge 12 }[/math] and [math]\displaystyle{ S \ge 5.36 }[/math] are, in descending order: 12, 19, 31, 72, 53, 41, 22, 46, 270, 34, 15, 130, 99, 27, 58, 118, 87, 171, 24, 17, 152, 65, 183, 140, 94, 224, 311, 342, 77, 14, 111, 68, 217, 26, 494, 84, 80, 36, 243, 103, 190, 159, 29, 50, 60, 422, 441, 193, 198, 121, 43, 113.
