'''16-EDO''' is the [[Equal_division_of_the_octave|equal division of the octave]] into sixteen narrow chromatic semitones each of 75 [[cent|cent]]s exactly. It is not especially good at representing most low-integer musical intervals, but it has a [[7/4|7/4]] which is only six cents sharp, and a [[5/4|5/4]] which is only eleven cents flat. Four steps of it gives the 300 cent minor third interval, the same of that 12-EDO, giving it four diminished seventh chords exactly like those of [[12edo|12-EDO]], and a diminished triad on each scale step.
