Theory

221edo has a flat tendency, with harmonics 3, 5, and 7 all tuned flat. The equal temperament tempers out 2109375/2097152 (semicomma) and [-11 26 -13 in the 5-limit; 1029/1024, 19683/19600, and 235298/234375 in the 7-limit, so that it provides the optimal patent val for the 7-limit hemiseven temperament.

Using the 221ef val, which does the best into the 17-limit, it tempers out 385/384, 441/440, 24057/24010, and 43923/43750 in the 11-limit; 351/350, 676/675, 1287/1280, 1573/1568, and 14641/14625 in the 13-limit; 273/272, 561/560, 715/714, 833/832, 2187/2176, and 10648/10625 in the 17-limit, supporting 17-limit hemiseven and 11-limit triwell.

Using the patent val, it tempers out 540/539, 2835/2816, 4375/4356, and 33614/33275 in the 11-limit; 364/363, 625/624, 1701/1690, and 2200/2197 in the 13-limit.
