== Theory ==
There are two different mappings of the 11-limit. One is just called ''pajara'' and is slightly more complex but suffers almost no loss of accuracy compared to the 7-limit. It is best tuned flat of 22edo. The other, called ''pajarous'' to avoid confusion, maps the 11th harmonic slightly simpler, but 22edo is the only [[11-odd-limit]] [[diamond monotone]] tuning, where primes [[3/1|3]] and [[5/1|5]] are less accurate than in optimal tunings of canonical 11-limit pajara.
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. However, this interval represents the pythagorean major third consistently in [[224edo]], which is the quadruple of 56edo.


56edo has unambiguous approximations to prime harmonics up to [[19/1|19]], and possibly up to [[29/1|29]]. However harmonic [[3/1|3]] is quite sharp, leading harmonic [[9/1|9]] to be even more so, and causing intervals like [[10/9]], [[9/7]], and [[13/9]] to be inconsistent. Therefore, 56edo is not very popular compared to edos like [[53edo|53]] and [[58edo|58]].
In the following tables, odd harmonics 1–11 and their inverses are in '''bold'''.  


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.

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 undecimal pajara.
