	[[Bryan Deister]] has used the [[Porwell temperaments#Nessafof\|Nessafof (Porwell)]] layout for [[54edo]], as demonstrated in [https://www.youtube.com/shorts/Bi5-YQUQHek ''microtonal improvisation in 54edo''] (2025). At 7\54, the generator is a near-just septimal neutral second (~[[35/32]]), of which 2 make a slightly flat minor third ~[[6/5]] (constituted in 54b), and 11 make a sharp ~[[8/3]] (which corresponds to the 54b flat fifth). The [[7L 1s]] scale (with a step ratio of 7:5) is expanded similar to the expanded [[Lumatone mapping for porcupine]] if represented as 7L 1s, but even more expanded. On the one hand, this makes octaves recede rapidly; but on the other hand, this also means that down and right gives a convenient ascending whole tone scale shared with [[12edo]], although this requires constituting the ~[[9/8]] whole steps as (3♭ × 3♯) / 8. The range is four full octaves.

	With the fifth ~[[3/2]] being divisible by 5 (going from 15\26 down to 3\26, which is a near-just lesser tridecimal neutral second ~[[13/12]]), [[26edo]] supports [[fifive]] temperament, as shown in [[Bryan Deister]]'s [https://www.youtube.com/shorts/WvnJb5VNGj4 ''<nowiki>Caprice in 26edo [short clip]</nowiki>''] (2026). This uses 3\26 as the (rightward) generator, and splits the octave in half. Two of these make a sharp septimal minor third ~[[7/6]] which also functions as a flat tridecimal minor third ~[[13/11]], or a mildly flat diatismic minor third ~[[20/17]]; three of these make a very flat septimal major third ~[[9/7]] or a slightly flat undecimal (pentacircle) major third ~[[14/11]]; four of these make a slightly sharp undecimal major fourth ~[[11/8]]; five of these make a very flat fifth ~3/2 if bypassing the semioctave-reduction or a very flat al-Farabi quarter tone ~[[33/32]] with the semioctave-reduction.
