This page presents a novelty topic.
It may contain ideas which are less likely to find practical applications in music, or numbers or structures that are arbitrary or exceedingly small, large, or complex. Novelty topics are often developed by a single person or a small group. As such, this page may also contain idiosyncratic terms, notation, or conceptual frameworks. |

From a regular temperament perspective, 1440edo only has a consistency limit of 3 and does poorly with approximating lower harmonics. However, 1440edo is worth considering as a higher-limit system, where it has excellent representation of the 2.15.17.19.21.23 subgroup. It may also be considered as every third step of 4320edo in this regard.
