The revision contents are below, presented both in the original Wikispaces Wikitext format, and in HTML exactly as Wikispaces rendered it.

Original Wikitext content:

The //42 equal division// divides the octave into 42 equal parts of 28.571 cents each. It has a 5 and a 7 both over 12 cents flat, using the same 400 cent interval to represent 5/4 as does 12, which means it tempers out 128/125. In the 7-limit, it tempers out 64/63 and 126/125, making it a tuning supporting [[Augmented family|augene temperament]].

While not an accurate tuning on the full 7-limit, it does an excellent job on the 2.9.15.7.33.39 subgroup, having the same tuning on it as does [[84edo]]. On this subgroup 42 has the same commas as 84.
