As a step in the [[Golden Meantone]] series of EDOs, 81 EDO marks the point at which the series ceases to display audible changes to meantone temperament, and is also the EDO with the lowest average and most evenly spread Just-error across the scale (though 31 EDO does have the best harmonic 7th). | As a step in the [[Golden Meantone]] series of EDOs, 81 EDO marks the point at which the series ceases to display audible changes to meantone temperament, and is also the EDO with the lowest average and most evenly spread Just-error across the scale (though 31 EDO does have the best harmonic 7th). | ||

The innermost accidentals represent the 15 cent EDOstep, followed by two, then the bracket representing three. Conventional sharp/doublesharp/flat/doubleflat accidentals are reached in steps of five. | The innermost accidentals represent the 15 cent EDOstep, followed by two, then the bracket representing three.

The chromatic scale can be notated utilizing only six accidentals in either direction - the rest are for enharmonics. | The chromatic scale can be notated utilizing only six accidentals in either direction - the rest are for enharmonics. | ||
