171edo: Difference between revisions
KingHyperio (talk | contribs) Correct me if I'm wrong, but 171 is consistent in the 13 limit right? 11/7 and 11/9 are slightly closer to their 171 incarnations than the 171e versions. |

171edo is much less accurate in the 11-limit, but still quite useful as it is a good tuning (emphasizing accuracy in the 7-limit) for the important rank-3 temperament [[jove]], which tempers out [[243/242]] (rastma) and [[441/440]], not to mention [[540/539]] and 2401/2400. Jove can be extended by adding [[364/363]] for the 13-limit and 595/594 for the 17-limit, which 171edo also supports. Alternatively, the 171e val can be used, which tempers out [[385/384]]. | 171edo is much less accurate in the 11-limit, but still quite useful as it is a good tuning (emphasizing accuracy in the 7-limit) for the important rank-3 temperament [[jove]], which tempers out [[243/242]] (rastma) and [[441/440]], not to mention [[540/539]] and 2401/2400.
