The 21-odd-limit is the set of all rational intervals for which neither the numerator nor the denominator of the frequency ratio exceeds 21, once all powers of 2 are removed. To the 19-odd-limit, it adds 6 interval pairs involving 21.

Below is a list of all octave-reduced intervals in the 21-odd-limit.

The smallest equal division of the octave which is consistent in the 21-odd-limit is 94edo (by virtue of it being consistent through the 23-odd-limit); that which is distinctly consistent in the same is 282edo (by virtue of it being distinctly consistent through the 23-odd-limit as well).
