However, due to its size, this mapping does not cover all the notes. In addition, the best approximation to [[5/4]] is a quadruply augmented or pentuply diminished 7th, which is impossible to play with the root note of the chord. In most cases it will make more sense to use the c val, where it is a diminished 4th.

The [[2L 8s]] mapping covers the whole gamut and makes harmonics easier to play together, although some of the higher ones are less efficiently mapped than in 58edo.

The [[6L 4s]] mapping is meant to get as many notes as possible onto the space available on existing Lumatones, rather than attempting to fit any particular temperament, although it is a type of mapping supported by Diaschismic. This mapping gets three full octaves and the better part of another octave, with no missed notes and a moderate slope (comparable to the mapping above, but in the opposite direction). [[Bryan Deister]] has demonstrated this mapping in [https://www.youtube.com/shorts/I42JQ98WPZI ''microtonal improvisation in 70edo''] (2025).
