Dear ozan

Thanks for your comments , your 18 out of 79 tone improved system is
nearly parts of 119-EDL and 150-EDL . so for fretting instrument ,
considering compensation, we must fret according to these 2 to have a
sounding around your system :

119-EDL :

0: -- 1/1 -- 0.000 unison, perfect prime

7: -- 17/16 -- 104.955 17th harmonic

9: -- 119/110 -- 136.150

13: -- 119/106 -- 200.277

19: -- 119/100 -- 301.154

21: -- 17/14 -- 336.130 supraminor third

24: -- 119/95 -- 389.955

30: -- 119/89 -- 502.901

32: -- 119/87 -- 542.249

35: -- 17/12 -- 603.000 2nd septendecimal tritone

__________________________________________________________________

150-EDL:

46: 75/52 -- 634.055

50: 3/2 -- 701.955 perfect fifth

56: 75/47 -- 809.076

58: 75/46 -- 846.308

61: 150/89 -- 903.702

65: 30/17 -- 983.313

68: 75/41 -- 1045.520

71: 150/79 -- 1110.046

75: 2/1 -- 1200.000 octave

Brother, while it seems you reject 11-limit consonances, you certainly
do want to preserve 13-limit intervals. Would you perhaps consider 18
out of my proposed 79 tone improved system? The maximum error is about 7
cents compared with your JI scale:

Hi dear OZAN

Here is an example of 18-tone actual system of iranian music
based on 108-EDL system as an potential system.i say actual because we
use them and I say potential because actual is subset of it .

0: -- 1/1 --- 0.000 unison, perfect prime

1: -- 18/17 -- 98.955 Arabic lute index
finger

2: -- 27/25 -- 133.238 large limma, BP small
semitone

3: -- 9/8 -- 203.910 major whole tone

4: --- 108/91 -- 296.511

5: -- 108/89 -- 334.985

6: -- 54/43 -- 394.347

7: -- 4/3 -- 498.045 perfect fourth

8: -- 108/79 -- 541.328

9: -- 27/19 -- 608.352

10: --- 36/25 -- 631.283 classic diminished
fifth

11: --- 3/2 -- 701.955 perfect fifth

12: --- 27/17 -- 800.910 septendecimal minor
sixth

13: --- 18/11 -- 852.592 undecimal neutral
sixth

14: -- 27/16 905.865 Pythagorean major sixth

15: --- 108/61 -- 988.980

16: --- 108/59 -- 1046.693

17: --- 36/19 -- 1106.397 smaller undevicesimal
major seventh

18: --- 2/1 -- 1200.000 octave

And in its 12-semitonal scale as scala ( tone circle ) told ,
we have :

- 6 different tone

- 12 different semitone

- and 7 different fifth and so on.

All these changes can be simulated by an edo system.

I have a graphical temperament analyzer in excell spreadsheet
to show changes of all semitones , fifths , fourths and so on.

This is nature of iranain music so I think it as an irregular
temperament which shows Different tastes of an intervall in different
tetrachords.

60-EDL is not sounding good to me because of its 12/11(
150.637---- 3/4-tone, undecimal neutral second )

EDL system as I told before is actually used for fretting
considering change of octave position on neck of instrument .
