User:CompactStar/Ed16/9

The equal division of 16/9 (ed16/9) is a tuning obtained by dividing the Pythagorean minor seventh (16/9) in a certain number of equal steps. An ed16/9 can be generated by taking every other tone of an ed4/3, so even-numbered ed16/9's are integer ed4/3's.

Division of 16/9 into equal parts does not necessarily imply directly using this interval as an equivalence.

The structural importance of 16/9 is suggested by its being the most common width for a tetrad in Western harmony, though it could be argued that this distinction belongs instead to 7/4 or 9/5 depending how one converts 10\12 into JI.
