Twenty-one equal divisions of the octave provides both 7-edo as a subset and the familiar 400-cent major third, while also giving some higher-limit JI possibilities. The system can be treated as three intertwining 7-edo or "equi-heptatonic" scales, or as seven 3-edo ''augmented'' triads. The 7/4 at 968.826 cents is only off in 21-tone by 2.6 cents, which is better than any other EDO <26.

21-edo provides both 7-edo as a subset and the familiar 400-cent major third, while also giving some higher-limit JI possibilities. The system can be treated as three intertwining 7-edo or "equi-heptatonic" scales, or as seven 3-edo ''augmented'' triads. The 7/4 at 968.826 cents is only off in 21-tone by 2.6 cents, which is better than any other EDO <26.


In diatonically-related terms, 21-EDO possesses four types of 2nd (subminor, minor, submajor, and supermajor), three types of 3rd (subminor, neutral, and major), a "third-fourth" (an interval that can function as either a supermajor 3rd or a narrow 4th), a wide (or acute) 4th, and a narrow tritone, as well as the octave-inversions of all of these intervals.
