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

[[user:Andrew_Heathwaite|1281203319]] adds: If we take the 300-cent minor third as an approximation of the harmonic 19th (19/16, approximately 297.5 cents), that adds another overtone which can combine with the approximation of the harmonic seventh to form a 16:19:28 triad. The interval between the 28th & 19th overtones, 28:19, measures approximately 671.3 cents, which is 3.7 cents away from 16edo's "narrow fifth". | |||
