== Theory ==
15-edo can be thought of as three sets of 5-EDO which do not connect by fifths. The fifth at 720 cents is quite wide yet still useable as a perfect fifth. Some would describe the fifth as more shimmery and pungent than anything closer to a just 3/2. The perfect fifth of 15 EDO returns to the octave if stacked five times which is radically different than a meantone system.

Line 32: Line 74:
A recommended method to the notation of 15-edo by some is a system based on porcupine[8] in which eight nominals form the base diatonic scale. In this sense, the "quill" is the name given to the two step interval (160¢) of 15-edo while the "small quill" (80¢) is the chroma of 15-edo. This produces a very consistent notation for both porcupine[8] and Blackwood[10] and seems to work much better than attempting to put 15-edo into a seven nominal based framework.
