Template:EDO intro

888edo is inconsistent to the 5-odd-limit and harmonic 3 is about halfway between its steps, but otherwise it is excellent in approximating harmonics 5, 7, 9, 11, and 13, making it suitable for a 2.9.5.7.11.13 subgroup interpretation. The equal temperament tempers out 4096/4095, 6656/6655, 9801/9800, 10648/10647, 105644/105625, 151263/151200, and 250047/250000 in the above subgroup.

Subsets and supersets

Since 888 factors into 23 × 3 × 37, 888edo has subset edos 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 37, 74, 111, 148, 222, 296, and 444. 1776edo, which doubles it, provides a good correction for harmonic 3.
