If we examine the increasingly larger peak values of |Z(x)|, we find they occur with values of x such that Z'(x) = 0 near to integers, so that there is a sequence of [[EDO|edo]]s [[1edo|1]], [[2edo|2]], [[3edo|3]], [[4edo|4]], [[5edo|5]], [[7edo|7]], [[10edo|10]], [[12edo|12]], [[19edo|19]], [[22edo|22]], [[27edo|27]], [[31edo|31]], [[41edo|41]], [[53edo|53]], [[72edo|72]], [[99edo|99]], [[118edo|118]], [[130edo|130]], [[152edo|152]], [[171edo|171]], [[217edo|217]], [[224edo|224]], [[270edo|270]], [[342edo|342]], [[422edo|422]], [[441edo|441]], [[494edo|494]], [[742edo|742]], [[764edo|764]], [[935edo|935]], [[954edo|954]], [[1012edo|1012]], [[1106edo|1106]], [[1178edo|1178]], [[1236edo|1236]], [[1395edo|1395]], [[1448edo|1448]], [[1578edo|1578]], [[2460edo|2460]], [[2684edo|2684]], [[3395edo|3395]], [[5585edo|5585]], [[6079edo|6079]], [[7033edo|7033]], [[8269edo|8269]], [[8539edo|8539]], [[11664edo|11664]], [[14348edo|14348]], [[16808edo|16808]], [[28742edo|28742]], [[34691edo|34691]] ... of ''zeta peak edos''. This is listed in the On-Line Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences as {{OEIS|A117536}}.
If we examine the increasingly larger peak values of |Z(x)|, we find they occur with values of x such that Z'(x) = 0 near to integers, so that there is a sequence of [[EDO|edo]]s
{{EDOs|1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 10, 12, 19, 22, 27, 31, 41, 53, 72, 99, 118, 130, 152, 171, 217, 224, 270, 342, 422, 441, 494, 742, 764, 935, 954, 1012, 1106, 1178, 1236, 1395, 1448, 1578, 2460, 2684, 3395, 5585, 6079, 7033, 8269, 8539, 11664, 14348, 16808, 28742, 34691,}} ... of ''zeta peak edos''. This is listed in the On-Line Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences as {{OEIS|A117536}}.


Similarly, if we take the integral of |Z(x)| between successive zeros, and use this to define a sequence of increasing values for this integral, these again occur near integers and define an edo. This sequence, the ''zeta integral edos'', goes [[2edo|2]], [[5edo|5]], [[7edo|7]], [[12edo|12]], [[19edo|19]], [[31edo|31]], [[41edo|41]], [[53edo|53]], [[72edo|72]], [[130edo|130]], [[171edo|171]], [[224edo|224]], [[270edo|270]], [[764edo|764]], [[954edo|954]], [[1178edo|1178]], [[1395edo|1395]], [[1578edo|1578]], [[2684edo|2684]], [[3395edo|3395]], [[7033edo|7033]], [[8269edo|8269]], [[8539edo|8539]], [[14348edo|14348]], [[16808edo|16808]], [[36269edo|36269]], [[58973edo|58973]] ... This is listed in the OEIS as {{OEIS|A117538}}. The zeta integral edos seem to be, on the whole, the best of the zeta function sequences, but the other two should not be discounted; the peak values seem to give more weight to the lower primes, and the zeta gap sequence discussed below to the higher primes.
Alternatively, if we demand no octave stretching and thus only look at the record peaks corresponding to exact EDOs, we get {{EDOs|1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 10, 12, 19, 22, 31, 41, 53, 87, 118, 130, 171, 224, 270, 311, 472, 494,}} ... of ''zeta peak integer EDOs''. EDOs in this list not included in the previous are {{EDOs|87, 311, 472,}} ... and EDOs not included in this list but included in the previous are {{EDOs|27, 72, 99, 152, 217, 342, 422, 441,}} ... with 72's removal perhaps being the most surprising, showing the strength of 53 in that 72 does not improve on the peak of 53.


Finally, taking the midpoints of the successively larger normalized gaps between the zeros of Z leads to a list of ''zeta gap edos''. These are [[2edo|2]], [[3edo|3]], [[5edo|5]], [[7edo|7]], [[12edo|12]], [[19edo|19]], [[31edo|31]], [[46edo|46]], [[53edo|53]], [[72edo|72]], [[270edo|270]], [[311edo|311]], [[954edo|954]], [[1178edo|1178]], [[1308edo|1308]], [[1395edo|1395]], [[1578edo|1578]], [[3395edo|3395]], [[4190edo|4190]] ... Since the density of the zeros increases logarithmically, the normalization is to divide through by the log of the midpoint. These edos are listed in the OEIS as {{OEIS|A117537}}. The zeta gap edos seem to weight higher primes more heavily and have the advantage of being easy to compute from a table of zeros on the critical line.
Similarly, if we take the integral of |Z(x)| between successive zeros, and use this to define a sequence of increasing values for this integral, these again occur near integers and define an edo. This sequence, the ''zeta integral edos'', goes {{EDOs|2, 5, 7, 12, 19, 31, 41, 53, 72, 130, 171, 224, 270, 764, 954, 1178, 1395, 1578, 2684, 3395, 7033, 8269, 8539, 14348, 16808, 36269, 58973,}} ...
