1260edo is the 16th [[highly composite EDO]], and the first one after [[12edo]] which has a good (only 5% error) and also coprime perfect fifth, so that a circle of fifths goes through every step.

It tunes well the 2.3.7.11.17.29 [[subgroup]]. It tempers out the [[parakleisma]] in the 5-limit on the patent val, and in the 13-limit in the 1260cf val it provides an alternative extension to the [[oquatonic]] temperament.
 
One step of 1260edo bears the name ''triangular cent'', although for unclear reasons. See [[Interval size measure #Octave-based fine measures]]


From a regular temperament perspective, it tunes well the 2.3.7.11.17.29 subgroup. It tempers out the [[parakleisma]] in the 5-limit on the patent val, and in the 13-limit in the 1260cf val it provides an alternative extension to the [[oquatonic]] temperament.
