It is the difference between a stack of five [[6/1]]'s and 7, 11, and 101 harmonics stacked, or when octave-reduced, between 7/4, 11/8, and 101/64 and the Pythagorean major seventh, [[243/128]]. It is also the difference between 404/243 and 128/77. | ||

Some of the edos which support pulsar temperaments are [[135edo|135]], {{EDOs|342, 207, 1012, 477, 1147, 971, 270, 836, 877}}. Note that 270edo is a multiple of 135edo. | ||
