Because 15edo's best fifth is the same as that of [[5edo]], the circle of fifths fully closes with only five notes, meaning the [[256/243|Pythagorean limma]] is tempered out. This slightly breaks traditional fifth-based notation, because E and F, as well as B and C, will merge into singular pitches. This also has the effect of making the [[2187/2048|Pythagorean apotome]] equal to the [[9/8|Pythagorean whole-tone]], such that the sharp and flat accidentals will indicate raising or lowering by one step of 5edo, or 240 cents. There are two main approaches to dealing with this issue: the use of ups and downs in conjunction with the traditional A through G nominals based on the 5edo circle of fifths, and the use of Porcupine temperament instead of the circle of fifths as a notational basis. | Because 15edo's best fifth is the same as that of [[5edo]], the circle of fifths fully closes with only five notes, meaning the [[256/243|Pythagorean limma]] is tempered out.
