Theory

1178edo is a very strong 19-limit system, and is a zeta peak, integral and gap edo. It is also distinctly consistent through to the 21-odd-limit, and is the first edo past 742 with a lower 19-limit relative error. A basis for its 19-limit commas is 2500/2499, 3025/3024, 3250/3249, 4200/4199, 4375/4374, 4914/4913 and 5985/5984. It supports and provides a great tuning for semihemienneadecal.
