217 equal divisions of the octave (abbreviated 217edo or 217ed2), also called 217-tone equal temperament (217tet) or 217 equal temperament (217et) when viewed under a regular temperament perspective, is the tuning system that divides the octave into 217 equal parts of about 5.53 ¢ each. Each step represents a frequency ratio of 21/217, or the 217th root of 2.

Theory

217edo is a strong 19-limit system, the smallest distinctly consistent in the 19-odd-limit and consistent to the 21-odd-limit as well as the no-23 31-odd-limit. It shares the same 5th and 7th harmonics with 31edo (217 = 7 × 31), as well as the 11/9 interval (supporting the birds temperament). However, compared to 31edo, its patent val differ on the mappings for 3, 11, 13, 17 and 19—in fact, this edo has a very accurate 13th harmonic, as well as the 19/15 interval. It can also be used in the 23-limit. The only inconsistently mapped intervals in the 23-odd-limit are 23/14, 23/21, and their octave complements.

The equal temperament tempers out the parakleisma, [8 14 -13, and the escapade comma, [32 -7 -9 in the 5-limit; 3136/3125, 4375/4374, 10976/10935 and 823543/819200 in the 7-limit; 441/440, 4000/3993, 5632/5625, and 16384/16335 in the 11-limit; 364/363, 676/675, 1001/1000, 1575/1573, 2080/2079 and 4096/4095 in the 13-limit; 595/594, 833/832, 936/935, 1156/1155, 1225/1224, 1701/1700 in the 17-limit; 343/342, 476/475, 969/968, 1216/1215, 1445/1444, 1521/1520 and 1540/1539 in the 19-limit. It allows minor minthmic chords, werckismic chords, and sinbadmic chords in the 13-odd-limit, in addition to island chords and nicolic chords in the 15-odd-limit. It provides the optimal patent val for the 11- and 13-limit arch and the 11- and 13-limit cotoneum.

Notation

Sagittal

217edo can be written in Sagittal using almost the entire Athenian extension (except for ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ since it tempers out 1240029/1239040), by virtue of its apotome being equal to 21 edosteps, which is the maximum equal division of the apotome (eda) supported by Athenian. It is identical to 224edo's Sagittal notation, but it uses the 11/7C for the +6/-6 alteration instead of 55C.[1]

It shares the same exact symbol system as the Athenian notation for just intonation or Medium-precision JI notation.[1]

31edo-based notation

Since 217 = 31 × 7, one could base the notation on its inherited meantone fifth 126\217 (18\31) instead of its best fifth.

This could be useful when 31edo as a base tuning, where the whole palette of 217edo is only used to provide subtle inflections of the 31edo pitches, similar to how one might use 159edo to provide subtle corrections of 53edo pitches.

Ringer 217

217edo is the basis for an exceptional Ringer scale that maps an unusually very large amount of the harmonic series (without having to omit any other harmonics) compared to other edos in this size range. Specifically, it maps the complete mode 167 of the harmonic series, corresponding to the entire 333-odd-limit. As 217 = 31 * 7, this can be used to derive 7 possible 31nejis.
