In "Harmonics or the Philosophy of Musical Sounds" (1759) by Robert Smith, a musical temperament is described where the octave is divided into 50 equal parts - 50edo, in one word. Later W. S. B. Woolhouse noted it was fairly close to the [[Target tunings|least squares]] tuning for 5-limit meantone. 50, however, is especially interesting from a higher limit point of view. While [[31edo]] extends meantone with a [[7_4|7/4]] which is nearly pure, 50 has a flat 7/4 but both [[11_8|11/8]] and [[13_8|13/8]] are nearly pure. | <div style="width:100%; max-height:400pt; overflow:auto; background-color:#f8f9fa; border: 1px solid #eaecf0; padding:0em"><pre style="margin:0px;border:none;background:none;word-wrap:break-word;white-space: pre-wrap ! important" class="old-revision-html">//50edo// divides the [[octave]] into 50 equal parts of precisely 24 [[cent]]s each.

50 tempers out 126/125 in the [[7-limit]], indicating it supports septimal meantone; 245/242, 385/384 and 540/539 in the [[11-limit]] and 105/104, 144/143 and 196/195 in the [[13-limit]], and can be used for even higher limits. Aside from meantone, it can be used to advantage for the 15&50 temperament. | 50 tempers out 126/125 in the [[7-limit]], indicating it supports septimal meantone; 245/242, 385/384 and 540/539 in the [[11-limit]] and 105/104, 144/143 and 196/195 in the [[13-limit]], and can be used for even higher limits. Aside from meantone, it can be used to advantage for the 15&50 temperament. It is also the unique equal temperament tempering out both 81/80 and the [[vishnuzma]], 6115295232/6103515625 = |23 6 -14>, so that in 50et seven chromatic semitones are a perfect fourth. In 12et by comparison this gives a fifth, in 31et a doubly diminished fifth, and in 19et a diminished fourth. | ||
