: The approximation of 159edo that I use differs from 159edo itself by fractions of a cent. The reason it's only an approximation is because I can only specify tuning to within two decimal places in MuseScore- the main program I use to compose and generate sound- as opposed to being able to straight-up divide the octave into 159 equal parts as would be required to have true 159edo. As for how I decided what EDOs to mimic, well, some were easy- like 12edo, 24edo and 53edo, while most of the others were inspired by the comments of others concerning said EDOs in the [[Table of edo impressions|Table of EDO impressions]]. --[[User:Aura|Aura]] ([[User talk:Aura|talk]]) 02:25, 19 February 2021 (UTC)

:: Thanks for your reply. I think it's interesting that you feel the need to specify that you aren't writing in true 159edo just because MuseScore has a limitation to its retuning capabilities that most likely nobody will notice. I also write microtonal music in MuseScore, which means that my compositions are also tuned very slightly differently from true EDOs. However, I personally think that the slight discrepancies that come from the retuning limitations of various music making software and hardware don't have to be accounted for. In fact, I think it would be better for these discrepancies to be ignored if they are only a few hundredths of a cent wide, as is the case for your compositions. Do you have any additional thoughts on this matter? --[[User:Userminusone|Userminusone]] ([[User talk:Userminusone|talk]]) 03:10, 19 February 2021 (UTC)
