Theory

600edo tempers out the tricot comma, [39 -29 3, and the mutt comma, [-44 -3 21 in the 5-limit, 65625/65536, 250047/250000, 5250987/5242880, and 28824005/28697814 in the 7-limit, supporting septimal mutt.

Subsets and supersets

Since 600 factors into 23 × 3 × 52, it has subset edos 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 15, 24, 25, 30, 40, 60, 100, 200, and 300. Since 600 = 6 x 100, one step of 600edo is named centitone, being a relative cent of 6edo, otherwise known as the whole tone scale. In addition, because the step size is 2 cents, it is the smallest edo where every possible interval is tuned within 1 cent of error.
