	68edo's step is half of the step size of [[34edo]], which does well in the 5-limit but not so well in the 7-limit, and one quarter the size of [[17edo]], which does well in the [[3-limit]], but not so well in the [[5-limit]]. The luck continues: 68 is a strong [[7-limit]] system, but does not do as well in the [[11-limit]]; though it's certainly usable for that purpose, it does not represent the 11-limit diamond [[consistent]]ly since [[11/9]] is not mapped to its best approximation. However, 68edo maps many higher primes better than it does 11 (specifically 13 and 23 inherited from 17edo, 17 inherited from 34edo, and 19 and 31 new to 68edo), notably being [[consistent]] in the entire no-11s 25-[[odd limit]] add-31. It achieves this by having a consistent sharp tendency among all primes up to 31, save 11 and 29. Therefore, a slight octave compression, such as in [[158ed5]] or [[191ed7]], can improve upon the accuracy of 68edo's harmonic series.		68edo's step is half of the step size of [[34edo]], which does well in the 5-limit but not so well in the 7-limit, and one quarter the size of [[17edo]], which does well in the [[3-limit]], but not so well in the [[5-limit]].
