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

Original Wikitext content:

//74edo// divides the octave into 74 equal parts of size 16.216 cents each. It is most notable as a meantone tuning, tempering out 81/80 in the 5-limit; 81/80 and 126/125 (and hence 225/224) in the 7-limit; 99/98, 176/175 and 441/440 in the 11-limit; and 144/143 and 847/845 in the 13-limit. Discarding 847/845 from that gives [[Meantone family|13-limit meantone]], aka 13-limit huygens, for which 74edo gives the [[optimal patent val]]; and discarding 144/143 gives a 13-limit 62&74 temperament with half-octave period and two parallel tracks of meantone.
