80-17-comma is an interval which represents the difference between a circle of 80 17/16s and 7 octaves. For EDOs upwards to the several thousands, it is tempered out if and only if 80 divides N.

Theory

80-17-comma serves as an identity in the rank-two temperaments octogintic and mercury, where it maps 17/16 to 7 periods. Other notable temperaments tempering it out are 5040edo, which is a highly composite edo, and 4320edo.
