72edo is a notable tuning system due to its 17-limit consistency, being a multiple of 12, and usage in various ecclesiastical forms of chanting.
Temperaments discussed elsewhere include:
- Omicronbeta, → Compton family
Hafnium
Hafnium is a period-72 temperament created by temperament-merging 4320edo and 5544edo, equal temperaments notable for their high divisibility. Named after the 72nd element.
