Theory
2000edo is distinctly consistent through the 29-odd-limit and a strong no-31's 41-limit system; the only smaller edo with a smaller 29-limit relative error being 1578edo. The only ones superior to it in the 23-limit are 1578 and 1889edo, and in the 19-limit, nothing smaller defeats it.
2000 = 24 × 53 , and its divisors are 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 16, 20, 25, 40, 50, 80, 100, 125, 200, 250, 400, 500, 1000. From these, 1000edo is notable because it carries the interval size measure millioctave. It is argued that cutting millioctaves in half makes for a better interval measuring system, in light of 2000edo's high consistency limit, which introduces just interval approximations not present in 1000edo. In addition, 2000edo inherits its fifth from 200edo, where it is semiconvergent.
