Template:EDO intro

236edo is enfactored in the 5-limit, with the same tuning as 118edo, defined by tempering out the schisma and the parakleisma. The 7-limit mapping is worse over that of 118edo, as it leans on the very sharp side. It tempers out 6144/6125 and 19683/19600, supporting hemischis. Using the 236e val 236 374 548 663 817], it tempers out 243/242, 1375/1372, 6250/6237, 14700/14641 and 16384/16335.

The 236bb val (where fifth is flattened by single step, approximately 1/4 comma) gives a tuning very close to quarter-comma meantone, although 205edo is even closer.

Subsets and supersets

Since 236 factors into 22 × 53, 236edo has subset edos 2, 4, 53 and 118.

472edo, which doubles it, provides good correction to harmonics 7 and 11.
