Notably, it is consistent to distance 3 in the [[11-odd-limit]], and almost to distance 4 ((11/10)<sup>4</sup> and (20/11)<sup>4</sup> are a hair off, 50.4%). | ||

The harmonics [[29/1|29]] and [[31/1|31]] are also more than 1/3-edostep sharp, but not as sharp as the 17 to incur inconsistency ([[29/26]] and [[31/26]] are critically sharp but still consistent). This makes 270edo consistent in the no-17/13 no-23 [[35-odd-limit]].

On top of this, its step size is small enough as to arguably give a good enough approximation for any relatively simple JI consonance, as the maximum error (assuming consistency) is only 2.{{overline|2}}{{c}}, yet having a step size that ''can'' be [[just-noticeable difference|discernible]]. | On top of this, its step size is small enough as to arguably give a good enough approximation for any relatively simple JI consonance (beyond the 13-limit on which it is spot on), as the maximum error (assuming consistency) is only 2.{{overline|2}}{{c}}, yet having a step size that ''can'' be [[just-noticeable difference|discernible]]. | ||
If, however, you want a edo for more rounded, consistent very high-limit use, the obvious alternative choice is [[311edo]], which is in many ways dual to 270edo as it emphasizes consistency and accuracy in very high-prime-limit and high-odd-limit situations at the expense of lower ones, and is a [[prime edo]] as opposed to a very composite one. While 270edo approximates the first 16 harmonics with astounding accuracy, 311edo approximates the first 42 but not as accurately – strongly favouring the approximation of as many harmonics as possible. | If, however, you want a edo for more rounded, consistent very high-limit use, the obvious alternative choice is [[311edo]], which is in many ways dual to 270edo as it emphasizes consistency and accuracy in very high-prime-limit and high-odd-limit situations at the expense of lower ones, and is a [[prime edo]] as opposed to a very composite one.
