(semiconvergent)
16 equal divisions of the 5th harmonic (abbreviated 16ed5) is a nonoctave tuning system that divides the interval of 5/1 into 16 equal parts of about 174 ¢ each. Each step represents a frequency ratio of 51/16, or the 16th root of 5.
Theory
16ed5 is a strong no-2s, no-13s, no-29s 41-limit tuning. Alternatively, it could include 2s, but the equave might need to be compressed to make the 2/1 and 4/1 more in tune.
This tuning tempers out 25/24 in the 5-limit; 21/20, 35/32, and 28/27 in the 7-limit; 33/32 and 35/33 in the 11-limit; 13/12 and 26/25 in the 13-limit; 17/16, 34/33, and 35/34 in the 17-limit; 19/18 and 39/38 in the 19-limit; 23/22 in the 23-limit; 29/28 and 29/27 in the 29-limit; 31/30 in the 31-limit; 37/36, 39/37, and 38/37 in the 37-limit; 41/40 and 42/41 in the 41-limit; 43/40, 43/42 and 43/41 in the 43-limit; and 47/44 in the 47-limit.
