Original Wikitext content:
===<span style="color: #0049ff; font-size: 200%;">27 tone equal temperament</span>=== If octaves are kept pure, 27edo divides the octave in 27 equal parts each exactly 44.444... cents in size. However, 27 is a prime candidate for octave shrinking, and a step size of 44.3 to 44.35 cents would be reasonable. The reason for this is that 27edo tunes the third, fifth and 7/4 sharply. Assuming however pure octaves, 27 has a fifth sharp by slightly more than nine cents and a 7/4 sharp by slightly less, and the same 400 cent major third as 12edo, sharp 13 2/3 cents.
