A 42 tone well tempered nonet (42WTN) is related to well temperaments of 36edo, but with a nonet rather than the 2/1 being constant. Its patent tunings optimally alternate division of the just perfect fifth into 21 equal parts (21EDF) with sequences of twenty-one equal steps of 28.5714 to 38.0952 cents each. This will create twenty-one equally-spaced intervals between an interval between 600 and 800 cents and the just perfect fifth.
