An equal division of reduced harmonic 255 (ed255/128) is an equal-step tuning in which the octave-reduced 255th harmonic (255/128) is justly tuned and is divided in a given number of equal steps. 255/128 is very close to the octave, 2/1, but it is slightly flatter. This makes it suitable as an alternative to edos whose consonances are too sharp, such as 6edo.

Ed255/128s really only make sense for that purpose with 65 or fewer tones per pseudo-octave. With more tones than that, the relative error on 2/1 becomes unacceptably high and it makes more sense to switch to a different tuning like a zpi or ed511/256.

Ed255/128s are the complementary opposite of ed257/128s.

42ed255/128

42ed255/128 is a kind of opposite twin to the scale 42ed257/128, as they improve 42edo’s JI approximation by about the same amount, but in opposite directions (those harmonics which are slightly sharp in one are slightly flat in the other).

42ed255/128’s step size is very close to that of APS715jot and 191zpi.

See Table of stretched 42edo tunings for more.
