Title1

Octave stretch or compression

23edo is not typically taken seriously as a tuning except by those interested in extreme xenharmony. Its fifths are significantly flat, and is neighbors 22edo and 24edo generally get more attention.

However, when using a slightly stretched octave of around 1216 cents, 23edo looks much better, and it approximates the perfect fifth (and various other intervals involving the 5th, 7th, 11th, and 13th harmonics) to within 18 cents or so. If we can tolerate errors around this size in 12edo, we can probably tolerate them in stretched-23 as well.

Stretched 23edo is one of the best tunings to use for exploring the antidiatonic scale since its fifth is more consonant and less "wolfish" than fifths in other pelogic family temperaments.

What follows is a comparison of stretched- and compressed-octave 23edo tunings.

86zpi
  • Step size: 51.653 ¢, octave size: 1188.0 ¢

Compressing 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.

Compressing 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 60ed6 does this. So does the tuning 105ed23 whose octave is identical within 0.01 ¢.

Possible tunings to be used on each page

You can remove some of these or add more that aren't listed here; this section is pretty much just brainstorming.

(Used https://x31eq.com/temper-pyscript/net.html, used WE instead of TE cause it kept defaulting to WE and I kept not remembering to switch it)
