Original Wikitext content:

=Division of the tritave (3/1) into 12 equal parts= 
12edt divides 3, the tritave, into 12 equal parts of 158.496 cents each, corresponding to 7.571 edo, and can be used as a generator chain for [[Kleismic family#Hemikleismic|hemikleismic temperament]]. From a no-twos point of view, it tempers out 49/45 and 27/25 in the 7-limit, and 1331/1125 and 1331/1225 in the 11-limit.

=Exactly analogous to meantone= 
In octave land, 12edo handles the 2.3.5 subgroup and 11edo handles the 2.7.11 subgroup - ie. meantone and orgone temperaments. In tritave land however, 13edt handles the 3.5.7 territory (Bohlen-Pierce) and 12edt handles the 2.3.5.13.17.19 -- AND! it is a multiple of 4edt which is the simplest BP equal temperament. Now, exactly analogous to meantone, in which (3/2)^4=5/1, here (17/9)^4=(19/10)^4=13/1, tempering out the 171/170, 85293/83521 and 130321/130000 commas. In fact, even the MOS pattern is the same for this higher limit meantone! Relish the sweet 9:13:17 and 20:27:38 chords.

Another example of a macrodiatonic scale is [[17ed5|hyperpyth]] which is found in the fifth harmonic and is based on the 5:9:13:(17):(21) chord.
