EDOs easier to tune than 12edo by ear: 19 (6/5), 24 (11/6 and 11/8), 26 (7/4), 27 (7/6 and 6/5, or 1/3-comma superpyth), 31(quarter comma meantone), 36 (7/6 and 3/2), 46 (11/7 and 9/5), 53 (3/2)

Common practice music

19edo

Edna's liturgical music

  • for solo cantillation: prayer modes are small subsets of 17edo, 22edo + pure primes >= 13, or 31edo + pure primes >=11
    • Erlich decatonic is a good utility scale
  • for harmonizing: for the "better" tunings, often uses jazzy extensions and enharmonic modifications in addition to meantone + otonal JI
  • a capella: freer modulations, not necessarily melodic
