52edo has [[26edo]]'s very flat [[meantone]] [[perfect|fifth]] and a very sharp fifth close to 1/2-[[64/63|septimal-comma]] [[superpyth]]. The [[patent val]] has the same mapping for [[3/1|3]], [[7/1|7]], [[11/1|11]] and [[13/1|13]] as 26 does, but its [[5/1|5]] is sharp rather than flat. From this it tempers out [[648/625]] rather than [[81/80]] in the 5-limit, and [[225/224]] and [[1029/1024]] in the 7-limit, showing it [[support]]s [[miracle]], albeit badly, and may be defined by the tempering out of both 648/625 and miracle. In the 11-limit it tempers out [[99/98]] and [[176/175]] and in the 13-limit [[78/77]], [[144/143]] and [[169/168]]. It supplies the [[optimal patent val]] for then 12 & 40 temperament of the diminished family in the 7- and 11-limit, and also in the 13-limit where it can be defined as tempering out 78/77, 99/98, 176/175, 567/550 rather than by two patent vals. It also gives the 13-limit patent val for the 21 & 52 variant of miracle.

It also gives the 13-limit patent val for the {{nowrap|21 & 52}} variant of miracle.

Using the sharp fifth rather than the flat fifth (that is, using the 52b val), it contains a version of [[porcupine]] temperament, and combining 30\52 with 31\52 leads to a whole tone of 9\52, or 208 cents, which can be used inconsistently.

Line 9:

The 5\52 interval approximates [[31/29]] well, and when used as a generator produces [[tricesimoprimal miracloid]] temperament. The relationship is also preserved exactly in the period-52 [[french deck]] temperament.

The 11\52 (253.~~846¢~~) [[semifourth]] is a very accurate [[22/19]], with an error of only +0.~~041¢~~ and a closing error of only 9.3%.

The 11\52 (253.846{{c}}) [[semifourth]] is a very accurate [[22/19]], with an error of only +0.041{{c}} and a closing error of only 9.3%.

== Notation ==

[[13edo#Notation|13edo notation]] can be used together with +/- eighth-tone accidentals.

=== Ups and downs notation ===

Using [[Helmholtz–Ellis]] accidentals, 52edo can also be notated using [[ups and downs notation]] or Stein–Zimmerman [[24edo#Notation|quarter tone]] accidentals:

=== Sagittal notation ===

This notation uses the same sagittal sequence as EDOs [[45edo#Sagittal notation|45]] and [[59edo#Second-best fifth notation|59b]], and is a superset of the notations for EDOs [[26edo#Sagittal notation|26]] and [[13edo#Sagittal notation|13]].

Because it contains no Sagittal symbols, this Evo-SZ Sagittal notation is also a Stein-Zimmerman notation.
