(semiconvergent)
8 equal divisions of the 6th harmonic (abbreviated 8ed6) is a nonoctave tuning system that divides the interval of 6/1 into 8 equal parts of about 388 ¢ each. Each step represents a frequency ratio of 61/8, or the 8th root of 6.
Theory
8ed6 can be thought of as a subset (where the ~5/4 generator is stacked) of the 6/1-eigenmonzo tuning of würschmidt.
