For any [[Equal|equal]] temperament, there are technically an unlimited number of different [[Abstract_regular_temperament|abstract regular temperaments]] that it "[[support]]s" in the sense of tempering out all the same commas, thus allowing music in the non-equal temperament to be faithfully and mechanically played in the equal temperament.

However, some of these non-equal regular temperaments become exactly the same as each other when tuned to the equal temperament. For example, in [[12edo|12edo]], [[pajara|pajara]] and [[Injera|injera]] become the same, even though in anything other than 12 they are distinct temperaments.

Two temperaments are called "edo-distinct" if they remain distinct even when tuned to the same equal temperament. For rank-2, it turns out that the number of edo-distinct rank-2 temperaments in N-edo is floor(N/2); that is, N/2 if N is even and (N-1)/2 if N is odd.
