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. |

Theory
639edo is distinctly consistent in the 17-odd-limit. It has a sharp tendency, with harmonics of 3 to 17 all tuned sharp. The 639h val gives a reasonable approximation of harmonic 19, where it tempers out 2401/2400 and 4375/4374 in the 7-limit; 5632/5625 and 19712/19683 in the 11-limit; 2080/2079 and 4459/4455 in the 13-limit; 1156/1155, 2058/2057, and 2601/2600 in the 17-limit; 1216/1215, 1445/1444, 1540/1539, 2376/2375, and 2926/2925 in the 19-limit. It supports 11-limit ennealimmal and its 13-limit extension ennealimmalis.
