56 equal divisions of the 5th harmonic (abbreviated 56ed5) is a nonoctave tuning system that divides the interval of 5/1 into 56 equal parts of about 49.8 ¢ each. Each step represents a frequency ratio of 51/56, or the 56th root of 5.

Theory

56ed5 is related to 24edo, but with the 5th harmonic rather than the octave being just. The octave is compressed by about 5.8 ¢, a small but significant deviation. This tuning has a meantone fifth as the number of divisions of the 5th harmonic is multiple of 4. This tuning is also a hyperpyth, tempering out 135/133, 171/169, 225/221, and 1521/1445 in the patent val.
