This page presents a novelty topic.

It may contain ideas which are less likely to find practical applications in music, or numbers or structures that are arbitrary or exceedingly small, large, or complex.

Novelty topics are often developed by a single person or a small group. As such, this page may also contain idiosyncratic terms, notation, or conceptual frameworks.

Theory

718edo is distinctly consistent in the 23-odd-limit, and does well enough in the 31-limit. It is closely related to 359edo, but the mapping differs for 5, 13, 17 and 31.

As does 359et, 718et tempers out the 359-comma in the 3-limit, rendering a very accurate perfect fifth. In the 5-limit it tempers out the gammic comma, [-29 -11 20, and the monzisma, [54 -37 2. In the 7-limit it tempers out 4375/4374; in the 11-limit 3025/3024, 9801/9800 and 131072/130977; in the 13-limit 1716/1715, 2080/2079, 4096/4095, 4225/4224, 6656/6655 and 10648/10647; in the 17-limit 1275/1274, 2025/2023; in the 19-limit 2432/2431, 3250/3249, 4200/4199 and 5985/5984; and in the 23-limit 2024/2023, 2025/2024, 2185/2184, 3060/3059. It supports gammic, monzismic and abigail.
