18WTN is the non-octave well temperament where equal division of the just perfect fifth into nine parts of 77.995 cents each (9ED3/2) alternates with sequences of nine equal steps of 66.667 to 88.889 cents each. This will create nine equally-spaced intervals between an interval between 600 and 800 cents and the just perfect fifth.

Theory

The best tunings of 18WTN are very closely related to Carlos Alpha and valentine temperament. For a list of 11-limit dyadic chords of Carlos Alpha, see Chords of valentine.

They have a very good representation of the 7:8:10:11:12 chord from the harmonic series.
