Theory

103edo is a good miracle tuning, especially for the 7- and 13-limit and benediction and hemisecordite, two of the 13-limit extensions of miracle. It tempers out 78732/78125 in the 5-limit; 225/224, 1029/1024 and 2401/2400 in the 7-limit; 243/242, 441/440 and 540/539 in the 11-limit; 351/350 and 847/845 in the 13-limit. In the 13-limit it provides the optimal patent val for marvel temperament as well as benediction and hemisecordite.

103edo is the 27th prime edo.
