219 equal divisions of the octave (abbreviated 219edo or 219ed2), also called 219-tone equal temperament (219tet) or 219 equal temperament (219et) when viewed under a regular temperament perspective, is the tuning system that divides the octave into 219 equal parts of about 5.48 ¢ each. Each step represents a frequency ratio of 21/219, or the 219th root of 2.
Theory
219edo is inconsistent in the 5-odd-limit as well as higher odd limits. Its approximations to lower harmonics are exceptionally bad: 5, 11, and 13 are about halfway between its steps, and 19 and 23 are off by about a third step. If anything, it can be considered as a 2.3.7.17.29.31 subgroup tuning. One can see that there are much better alternatives to 219edo if the goal is to mimick just intonation, for example 212edo (being a superset of 53edo) or 217edo (being a superset of 31edo).
The patent val for 219edo is ⟨214 347 509 615 758 810], which tempers out the following commas up to the 13-limit: 32805/32768 in the 5-limit; 243/242, 441/440 and 65536/65219 in the 11-limit; 364/363 in the 13-limit.
