Special properties

1 equal division of 237.8¢ (1ed237.8c), also known as arithmetic pitch sequence of 237.8¢ (APS237.8¢), is an equal nonoctave scale generated by making a continuous chain of intervals of exactly 237.8¢. It is almost exactly 8edt, but retuned to have a slightly more acceptable pseudo-octave. It could be seen as a compromise between 8edt and 5edo, though leaning heavily towards 8edt.
