=== Structural properties ===
205edo contains a very accurate approximation of the [[2.3.5.11 subgroup]], inheriting the perfect fifth from 41edo. The patent val mappings of primes 7 and 13 can then be found by mapping [[7/5]] to the Pythagorean diminished fifth, and [[13/11]] at the Pythagorean minor third, thus tempering out [[5120/5103]] and [[352/351]], as well as [[847/845]] and [[2080/2079]]. In fact, it is the last edo tempering out 5120/5103 to map both [[7/5]] and [[1024/729]] consistently. It also supports the [[counterpyth]] mapping of prime 19.
 
Its step size represents several important intervals, such as the septimal kleisma [[225/224]], and the keenanisma [[385/384]]. Notably, the mappings of primes 5, 7, 11, 13, and 19 all differ from their nearest 41edo step by 1 step of 205edo, so 205edo can be considered as 41edo with fine-tuning, similarly to how [[217edo]] can be considered as 31edo with fine-tuning. The intervals [[11/10]], [[12/11]], [[13/12]], [[14/13]], and [[15/14]] are mapped equidistant, corresponding to [[121/120]], [[144/143]], [[169/168]], and [[196/195]] all being mapped to 2 steps. The mappings of 17 and 19 are accurate, with 15/14, [[16/15]], [[17/16]], [[18/17]], [[19/18]], and [[20/19]] all spaced apart from each other by one step. Overall, despite the sharpness of its 7 and 13, 205edo does fairly well in a range of prime limits.

205edo is the default tuning for the [http://hpi.zentral.zone/tonalplexus Tonal Plexus midi controller]. See the [http://musictheory.zentral.zone/huntsystem1.html theory part] on the same website. Aside from the 24\205 generator of quanic, the 58\205 generator of amity, and the 33\205 generator of hemithirds, 205edo supplies an excellent [[meantone]] fifth in 119\205, an excellent [[myna]] generator in 53\205, and a very good [[porcupine]] generator with 28\205, which is also an excellent generator for the higher-limit extension porky, and when sliced in half to 14\205, can even be used for nautilus. These facts are all potentially of significance to anyone using a 205edo based system such as the Tonal Plexus.

The 119\205 meantone fifth is extremely close to the [[quarter-comma meantone]] fifth, being only 0.007 cents sharp of it. Moreover the steps are half a cent flat of 1/4 of a syntonic comma. This makes the Tonal Plexus keyboard potentially of use in implementing [[Wikipedia: Nicola Vicentino|Nicola Vicentino]]'s [http://www.tonalsoft.com/monzo/vicentino/vicentino.aspx adaptive-JI scheme of 1555]. It also means that authentic 1/4-comma meantone tuning is, for practical purposes, available in 205 and allows for historically authentic performances of 1/4-comma music on the historically newfangled Tonal Plexus.
