The 1920 division divides the octave into 1920 equal parts of exactly 0.625 cents each. It 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.
