541 equal divisions of the octave (abbreviated 541edo or 541ed2), also called 541-tone equal temperament (541tet) or 541 equal temperament (541et) when viewed under a regular temperament perspective, is the tuning system that divides the octave into 541 equal parts of about 2.22 ¢ each. Each step represents a frequency ratio of 21/541, or the 541st root of 2.
Theory
541et is only consistent to the 5-odd-limit and the harmonic 3 is about halfway between its steps. It has a reasonable approximation to the 2.9.5.7.13 subgroup.
