Octave stretch or compression

58edo's approximations of harmonics 3, 5, 7, 11, and 13 can all be improved if slightly compressing the octave is acceptable, using tunings such as 92edt or 150ed6.

What follows is a comparison of stretched- and compressed-octave 58edo tunings.

288zpi
  • Step size: 20.736 ¢, octave size: NNN ¢

_ing the octave of EDONAME by around NNN ¢ results in improved primes NNN, but worse primes NNN. This approximates all harmonics up to 16 within NNN ¢. The tuning ZPINAME does this.

Pure-octaves EDONAME approximates all harmonics up to 16 within NNN ¢.

_ing the octave of EDONAME by around NNN ¢ results in improved primes NNN, but worse primes NNN. This approximates all harmonics up to 16 within NNN ¢. The tuning EDONOI does this.

289zpi / 58et, 7-limit WE tuning
  • Step size: 20.666 ¢, octave size: 1198.63 ¢

_ing the octave of EDONAME by around NNN ¢ results in improved primes NNN, but worse primes NNN. This approximates all harmonics up to 16 within NNN ¢. Its 7-limit WE tuning and 7-limit TE tuning both do this. The tuning 289zpi also does this, it's octave differing from 7-limit WE by only 0.06 ¢.
