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.

Template:EDO intro

669edo is consistent in the 7-odd-limit, although it has significant errors on the 3rd and the 5th harmonics. Besides that, 669c val is a tuning for the sensipent temperament in the 5-limit.

669edo appears much more useful as a higher-limit system, with harmonics 37 through 53 all having an error of 20% or less, with a comma basis for the 2.37.41.43.47.53 subgroup being {75809/75776, 1874161/1873232, 151124317/151101728, 9033613312/9032089499, 9795995841727/9788230467584}.

Overall, the subgroup which provides satisfactory results for 669edo is 2.7.19.29.37.41.43.47.53.
