In the opinion of some, 46edo is the first equal division to deal adequately with the [[13-limit]], though others award that distinction to [[41edo]] or [[53edo]]. In fact, while 41 is a [[The Riemann zeta function and tuning #Zeta EDO lists|zeta peak and zeta integral edo]] but not a [[The Riemann zeta function and tuning #Zeta EDO lists|zeta gap edo]], 46 is zeta gap but not zeta peak or zeta integral, and 53 is a [[strict zeta edo]]. Like 41 and 53, 46 is distinctly [[consistent]] in the [[9-odd-limit]], and it is consistent to the [[13-odd-limit]] or the no-15 no-19 [[23-odd-limit]]. 46edo's fifth is slightly sharp of just, which some people (e.g. [[Margo Schulter]]) prefer, sometimes strongly, over both the [[3/2|just fifth]] and fifths of temperaments with flat fifths, such as meantone. Many say that sharp fifths give a characteristic bright sound to 5-limit triads, and consider the sound of meantone triads to be more mellow in comparison.

[[Rank-2 temperament]]s it [[support]]s include [[sensi]], [[valentine]], [[shrutar]], [[rodan]], [[leapday]] and [[unidec]]. The [[11-odd-limit]] [[minimax tuning]] for valentine, (11/7)<sup>1/10</sup>, is only 0.01 cents flat of 3\46 octaves.  
46edo is also notable for being the smallest equal division to approximate harmonics 3, 5, 7, 11, and 13 with less than 25% [[relative interval error]].

! Approximate ratios<ref name="interval ratios" group="note">{{sg|limit=2.3.5.7.11.13.17.23&nbsp;subgroup}} This list does not include ratios of 15, since 46edo has intervals involving the 15th harmonic poorly approximated, except for 15/8 and 16/15 themselves. This is because, while the 3rd and 5th harmonics are sharp and their deviations from just intonation add up, 7, 11, and 13 are all tuned flat, making the difference even larger. This prevents it from being [[consistent]] in the [[15-odd-limit]], as there is a discrepancy approximating [[15/13]] and [[26/15]]&mdash;9\46 is closer to 15/13 by a hair, but 10\46 represents the difference between 46edo's 15/8 and 13/8 and is more likely to appear in chords actually functioning as 15/13.</ref>

===Sagittal notation===
=== Ups and downs notation ===
This notation uses the same sagittal sequence as [[39edo#Sagittal notation|39-EDO]].
46edo can be notated with [[ups and downs]], spoken as up, dup, dudsharp, downsharp, sharp, upsharp etc. and down, dud, dupflat etc. Note that dudsharp is equivalent to trup (triple-up) and dupflat is equivalent to trud (triple-down).
====Evo flavor====
{{Sharpness-sharp5a}}
Another notation uses [[Alternative symbols for ups and downs notation#Sharp-5|alternative ups and downs]]. Here, this can be done using sharps and flats with arrows, borrowed from extended [[Helmholtz–Ellis notation]]:
{{Sharpness-sharp5}}

=== Ups and downs notation ===
Using [[Helmholtz-Ellis notation|Helmholtz&ndash;Ellis]] accidentals, 46edo can also be notated using [[ups and downs notation]]:
{{Sharpness-sharp5}}
Here, a sharp raises by five steps, and a flat lowers by five steps, so single and double arrows can be used to fill in the gap. If the arrows are taken to have their own layer of enharmonic spellings, some notes may be best spelled with three arrows.
