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

566edo is distinctly consistent in the 15-odd-limit. It tempers out the schisma in the 5-limit; 4375/4374 (ragisma), 65625/65536 (horwell comma), and 14348907/14336000 (skeetsma) in the 7-limit; 3025/3024 in the 11-limit; 1716/1715 and 2080/2079 in the 13-limit. It notably supports pontiac and orga.

The 566g val is interesting in the higher limits, and in the 23-limit in particular it has a great rating in terms of absolute error. It tempers out 1156/1155, 1275/1274, 2431/2430, 2500/2499 and 2601/2600 in the 17-limit; 1445/1444, 1521/1520 and 1729/1728 in the 19-limit; 1105/1104 and 2025/2024 in the 23-limit.
