*Grown Apart is not purely in 68edo, but it is notated as a system which is a multiple of 17, since the ascending part in the raises the pitch by ~1\17 every 2 beats, all while 17edo instruments are used. In one of the sections, the intervals of 300¢ and 5/4 are used to transpose the guitar, which 68edo approximates adequately.
