::::::::::: I thought 24-EDO in principle cannot approximate anything harmonic what 12-EDO cannot. Do you think I miss something?

:::::::::::: Yes. 24edo approximates 11/8 and 16/11 very well, and because of that, it does enable some interesting harmonic motions- for examples of some of these, listen to my piece "Folly of a Drunk" on my main user page and examine the score to see how this works. --[[User:Aura|Aura]] ([[User talk:Aura|talk]]) 19:02, 24 November 2020 (UTC)

::::: "'''''Some''''' of the keys?" It sounds troublesome. Do you mean pressing on keys on the computer keyboard (in my article, there is a detailed explanation why it cannot work perfectly on all keyboards), or on-screen keyboard? Could you provide exact problem report (at least for one particular case), starting from exact browser and system versions? — thank you very much.

:::::: I do mean pressing on keys on the computer keyboard. All I know is that when I press a key on the keyboard that represents something other than a letter or number, the corresponding note won't play. I don't know where to find the system and browser versions- I know that the system is Windows and the Browser is Google Chrome, but that's it. --[[User:Aura|Aura]] ([[User talk:Aura|talk]]) 19:02, 24 November 2020 (UTC)

::::: As to the sets of EDOs, I would need a balanced opinion from a number of users. Most of my users only use 29-EDO, due to the influence from Ogolevets and Brainin. However, adding EDOs is quite possible and even ""almost"" automatic. Anyway, I'll be working at something else for a while, next major release is on the plan, and I'm interested to advance my research on the possibilities of purely harmonic (hence, not equal-division) systems. Could you offer some rationale behind your suggestion of these particular EDOs?

:::::: The rationale behind adding 24edo is that this EDO is what most non-microtonalists (to my knowledge) think of when they think of microtonal music- I mean, I got my start with 24edo for a reason. The rationale behind adding 53edo is that this EDO approximates the 3 prime very well (the difference between a 53edo fifth and a just perfect fifth is virtually unnoticeable), and Mercator's comma- which is the amount by which 53 fifths exceed 31 octaves- is the smallest comma forming the difference between a chain of fifths and a chain of octaves until you reach higher EDOs with unreasonably small step sizes. --[[User:Aura|Aura]] ([[User talk:Aura|talk]]) 19:02, 24 November 2020 (UTC)
