1920edo

This page presents a novelty topic.
It may contain ideas which are less likely to find practical applications in music, or numbers or structures that are arbitrary or exceedingly small, large, or complex. Novelty topics are often developed by a single person or a small group. As such, this page may also contain idiosyncratic terms, notation, or conceptual frameworks. |
Theory
1920edo is distinctly consistent through the 25-odd-limit, and in terms of 23-limit relative error, only 1578 and 1889 are both smaller and with a lower relative error. In the 29-limit, only 1578 beats it, and in the 31-, 37-, 41-, 43- and 47-limit, nothing beats it. Because of this and because it is a very composite number divisible by 12, it is another candidate for interval size measure.
