Special properties

1 equal division of 21/20 (1ed21/20), also known as ambitonal sequence of 21/20 (AS21/20) or 21/20 equal-step tuning, is the equal multiplication of the 21/20 septimal chromatic semitone of 84.467 cents. As such, every interval is a subset of 7-limit just inotation.

It is equal to approximately 14.2067 EDO, and as a result of tethering between compressed 14 and heavily stretched 15 it is quite xenharmonic in its sound. Nonetheless, it is quite a useful scale because it is related to nautilus, sextilififths and floral temperaments.

Harmonics

1ed21/20 offers a good approximation of the no-3s 11-limit, and of the no-3s, no-13s, no-59s 73-limit. It could be used as a dual-fifth tuning.
