Special properties

4 equal divisions of the perfect fifth (abbreviated 4edf or 4ed3/2) is a nonoctave tuning system that divides the interval of 3/2 into 4 equal parts of about 175 ¢ each. Each step represents a frequency ratio of (3/2)1/4, or the 4th root of 3/2. It corresponds to 6.8380edo.

Theory

4edf is related to the tetracot temperament, which tempers out 20000/19683 in the 5-limit.
