the (now detached) table is important for this page: it shows the relevance of 87edo

The '''87 equal temperament''', often abbreviated '''87-tET''', '''87-EDO''', or '''87-ET''', is the scale derived by dividing the octave into 87 equally-sized steps, where each step represents a frequency ratio of 13.79 [[cent|cents]]. It is solid as both a [[13-limit]] (or [[15 odd limit]]) and as a [[5-limit]] system, and of course does well enough in any limit in between. It represents the [[13-limit]] [[tonality diamond]] both uniquely and [[consistent|consistently]], and is the smallest equal temperament to do so.
