197ed12
197 equal divisions of the 12th harmonic (abbreviated 197ed12) is a nonoctave tuning system that divides the interval of 12/1 into 197 equal parts of about 21.8 ¢ each. Each step represents a frequency ratio of 121/197, or the 197th root of 12.
Theory
This tuning serves as a stretched version of 55edo, improving the accuracy of primes 3, 7, and 11, though prime 5 becomes worse. The patent vals match through the 11-limit, with the 13-limit corresponding to the 55f val (written with wart notation). It thus tempers out the same commas as 55edo in the 11-limit, and the same commas as 55f in the 13-limit.
