=[[#Division of the tritave (3/1) into 12 equal parts]]Division of the tritave (3/1) into 27 equal parts= Dividing the interval of 3/1 into 27 equal parts gives a scale with a basic step of 70.44 [[cent]]s, which is nearly identical to one step of [[17edo]] (70.59 cents). Hence it has similar melodic and harmonic properties as 17edo, with the difference that 27 is not a [[prime number]]. 27 being the third power of 3, and the base interval being 3/1, 27edt is a tuning where the number 3 prevails. This property seems to predestine 27edt as base tuning for Klingon music (since the tradtional Klingon number system is also based on 3).

Dividing the interval of 3/1 into 27 equal parts gives a scale with a basic step of 70.44 <a class="wiki_link" href="/cent">cent</a>s, which is nearly identical to one step of <a class="wiki_link" href="/17edo">17edo</a> (70.59 cents).

27 being the third power of 3, and the base interval being 3/1, 27edt is a tuning where the number 3 prevails. This property seems to predestine 27edt as base tuning for Klingon music (since the tradtional Klingon number system is also based on 3).
