Theory

742edo is a very strong 19-limit system and a zeta peak tuning, and is uniquely consistent in the 21-odd-limit. It tempers out the vishnuzma and the fortune comma in the 5-limit, supporting vishnu and fortune; 2401/2400 in the 7-limit, 9801/9800 in the 11-limit, 4096/4095, 6656/6655, 10648/10647 in the 13-limit, 1701/1700, 2058/2057, 2601/2600, 4914/4913, 5832/5831 in the 17-limit, 2376/2375, 2432/2431, 2926/2925, 3136/3135, 4200/4199, 5776/5775, 5929/5928, 5985/5984, 6860/6859 in the 19-limit.
