'''51 EDO''' divides the [[octave]] into 51 equal parts of 23.5 [[cent]]s each, which is about the size of the [[Pythagorean comma]] (even though this comma itself is mapped to a different interval).

'''51-EDO''' divides the [[Octave|octave]] into 51 equal parts of 23.529 [[cent|cent]]s each, which is about the size of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pythagorean_comma Pythagorean comma] (even though this comma itself is mapped to a different interval). It tempers out [[250/243|250/243]] in the [[5-limit|5-limit]], [[225/224|225/224]] and [[2401/2400|2401/2400]] in the [[7-limit|7-limit]], and [[55/54|55/54]] and [[100/99|100/99]] in the [[11-limit|11-limit]]. It is the [[Optimal_patent_val|optimal patent val]] for [[Porcupine_rank_three_family|sonic]], the rank three temperament tempering out 250/243, 55/54 and 100/99, and also for the rank four temperament tempering out 55/54. It provides an alternative tuning to [[22edo|22edo]] for [[Porcupine_family|porcupine temperament]], with a nice fifth but a rather flat major third, and the optimal patent val for 7 and 11-limit [[Porcupine_family#Porky|porky temperament]], which is sonic plus 225/224.
