Extra-Diatonic Intervals tries to base on 72edo and tries to take into account that superpyth minor seconds can reach 70 cents, although in meantone it's actually an augmented unison. However, superpyth is not suited for a diatonic scale, we can exclude it out of my version and base it on some meantone tuning like 43edo, 74edo or 105edo.

13-limit ratios are based on grosstone and are 69–integer–limit. They are valid to the amount of fifths, and need not necessarily convert to the same interval.

The base intervals come from the circle of fifths from -7 to 7 fifths: diminished octave, diminished fifth, minor second, minor sixth, minor third, minor seventh, fourth, unison, fifth, major second, major sixth, major third, major seventh, augmented fourth and augmented unison. This is unlike Igliashon's Extra-Diatonic Intervals, which only uses -5 to +5 fifths. The reasoning for the expanded range is that a chromatic scale is made of 6 augmented fourths and 6 diminished fifths, as well as 7 minor seconds and 5 augmented unisons. In the other hand, the diminished fourth at -8 fifths is considered a wolf major third in 5-limit, and a septimal major third in 7-limit, so this system names it a high major third instead.

To convert an interval to a name, select the closest 43edo interval, round down if halfway. This project can be used for converting intervals of an entire edo to interval names in this system: https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/250811968/

Like Igliashon's Extra-Diatonic Intervals, this is based on size, not the harmonic function. For example 2 steps in 26edo (92.308 cents) is named augmented unison, although it is not one in its meantone system.
