It can be used to tune hemithirds, superkliesmic, sycamore and keen temperaments, and using &lt;56 89 130 158| as the equal temperament val, for pajara. It provides the optimal patent val for 7-, 11- and 13-limit [[Sycamore family#Sycamore|sycamore]].


=Commas=  
== Theory ==
5-limit commas: 2048/2025, |-5 -10 9&gt;
56edo shares its near perfect quality of classical major third with [[28edo]], which it doubles, while also adding a superpythagorean 5th that is a convergent towards the [[Metallic harmonic series|bronze metallic mean]], following [[17edo]] and preceding [[185edo]]. Because it contains 28edo's major third and also has a step size very close to the syntonic comma, 56edo contains very accurate approximations of both the classic major third [[5/4]] and the Pythagorean major third [[81/64]]. Unfortunately, this "Pythagorean major third" is not the major third as is stacked by fifths in 56edo.


7-limit commas: 686/675, 875/864, 1029/1024
One step of 56edo is the closest direct approximation to the syntonic comma, [[81/80]], with the number of directly approximated syntonic commas per octave being 55.7976. (However, note that by [[patent val]] mapping, 56edo actually maps the syntonic comma inconsistently, to two steps.) [[Barium]] temperament realizes this proximity through regular temperament theory, and is supported by notable edos like [[224edo]], [[1848edo]], and [[2520edo]], which is a highly composite edo.


11-limit commas: 100/99, 245/242, 385/384, 686/675
56edo can be used to tune [[hemithirds]], [[superkleismic]], [[sycamore]] and [[keen]] temperaments, and using {{val| 56 89 130 158 }} (56d) as the equal temperament val, for [[pajara]]. It provides the [[optimal patent val]] for 7-, 11- and 13-limit [[sycamore]], and the 11-limit 56d val is close to the [[POTE tuning]] for 11-limit pajara.

Since 56 factors into {{nowrap|2<sup>3</sup> &times; 7}}, 56edo has subset edos {{EDOs| 2, 4, 7, 8, 14, 28 }}.

<nowiki/>* The following table assumes the 19-limit [[patent val]]; other approaches are possible. Inconsistent intervals are marked in ''italics''.
 
== Notation ==
 
=== Ups and downs notation ===
 
56edo can be notated using [[ups and downs notation|ups and downs]]. Trup is equivalent to quudsharp, trudsharp is equivalent to quup, etc.
{{Sharpness-sharp7a}}
 
Alternatively, sharps and flats with arrows borrowed from [[Helmholtz–Ellis notation]] can be used:
{{Sharpness-sharp7}}
 
=== Sagittal notation ===
This notation uses the same sagittal sequence as [[63edo#Sagittal notation|63-EDO]].
