39edo offers not one, but many, possible ways of extending tonality beyond the diatonic scale, even if it does not do as good of a job at approximating [[JI]] as some other systems do. Because it can also approximate [[mavila]] as well as "anti-mavila" ([[oneirotonic]]), the latter of which it inherits from [[13edo]], this makes 39edo an extremely versatile temperament usable in a wide range of situations (both harmonic and inharmonic).

39edo is a reasonable tuning of [[triforce]] beyond 15edo, and optimizes both its semaphore and augmented components by tuning the fifth sharp.
