			All multiple-of-5 [[edo]]s ({{EDOS\|5, 10, 15, 20, 25…}}) contain the exactly equal 5edo equipentatonic scale.

			In most traditions that use them, equipentatonic scales are slightly unequal and slightly closer to [[just]] (rarely slightly further from, but only by a tiny amount). For that reason, it might be more fruitful for composers to explore edos with equipentatonic scales that share those characteristics.
