In contrast to [[12edo|12-EDO]] chords, [[19edo|19-EDO]] has four instead of the usual two main chord qualities which opens up completely new territory for eager musicians/microtonalists to explore.

19-EDO approximates intervals with factors of 2, 3, 5 and 7 quite well. This essentially means that normal chords - like in 12-EDO - can be represented nicely in 19-EDO.

Because enharmonics work differently in 19-EDO, pitches can be written down  with standard notation.
