The revision contents are below, presented both in the original Wikispaces Wikitext format, and in HTML exactly as Wikispaces rendered it.

Original Wikitext content:

EDONOI is short for "equal divisions of a non-octave interval".

Examples include the equal-tempered [[BP|Bohlen-Pierce scale]] (a.k.a. the 13th root of 3), [[Carlos Alpha]], [[Carlos Beta]], [[Carlos Gamma]], the [[19ED3|19th root of 3]], the [[6df|6th root of 3:2]], [[88cET]] and the [[square root of 13:10]].

Some EDONOI contain an interval close to a 2:1 that might function like a stretched or squashed octave. They can thus be considered variations on [[edo]]s.

Other EDONOI contain no approximation of an octave or a compound octave (at least, not for a while), and continue generating new tones as they continue upward or downward. Such scales lack a very familiar compositional [[redundancy]], that of octave equivalence, and thus require special attention.
