1789edo is in[[consistent]] to the [[5-odd-limit]] and [[harmonic]] [[3/1|3]] is about halfway between its steps. Otherwise, it is excellent in approximating harmonics [[5/1|5]], [[9/1|9]], [[11/1|11]], [[13/1|13]] and [[21/1|21]], making it suitable for a 2.9.5.21.11.13 [[subgroup]] interpretation.  
1789edo is in[[consistent]] to the [[5-odd-limit]] and [[harmonic]] [[3/1|3]] is about halfway between its steps. Otherwise, it is excellent in approximating harmonics [[5/1|5]], [[9/1|9]], [[11/1|11]], [[13/1|13]] and [[21/1|21]], making it suitable for a 2.9.5.21.11.13 [[subgroup]] interpretation.  


For higher harmonics, 1789edo can be adapted for use with the 2.9.5.21.11.13.29.31.47.59.61 subgroup. Perhaps the most notable fact about 1789edo is that it [[tempers out]] the jacobin comma ([[6656/6655]]), and it is also consistent on the subgroup 2.5.11.13 of the comma, which is quite appropriate for edo's number. Although there are temperaments which are better suited for tempering this comma, 1789edo is unique in that its number is the hallmark year of the French Revolution, thus making the tempering of the jacobin comma on topic.

1789bd val, {{Val|1789 '''2836''' 4154 '''5023'''}} is better tuned than the patent val, and it tempers out 67108864/66976875, 48828125/48771072, 96889010407/96855122250.

Since 1789edo tempers out the jacobin comma and it is defined by stacking three 11/8s to reach 13/10, one can use that as a generator. The resulting temperament is {{nowrap|37 & 1789}}, called onzonic. Name "onzonic" comes from the French word for eleven, ''onze''.

1789edo supports the 2.5.11.13.19 subgroup temperament called ''estates general'' defined as {{nowrap|1789 & 3125}}. This is referencing the fact that Estates General were called by Louis XVI on 5th May 1789, written as 05/05, and 3125 is 5 to the 5th power and also provides an optimal patent val for tempering out the jacobin comma, contuing the lore.

1789edo can be used for the finite "French decimal" temperament—that is, where all the interval targets in just intonation are expressed as terminating decimals. For example, [[5/4]], [[25/16]], [[128/125]], [[32/25]], 625/512, etc.

Since the 5/4 of 1789edo is on the 576th step, a highly divisible number, 1789edo can replicate a lot of [[ed5/4]] temperaments—more exactly those which are divisors of 576, and that includes all from [[2ed5/4]] to [[9ed5/4]], skipping [[7ed5/4]]. One such scale which stands for [[4ed5/4]], is a tuning for the [[hemiluna]] temperament in the 1789bd val in the 13-limit. It is also worth noting that 1789bd val is better tuned than the patent val.

1789edo has an essentially perfect [[9/8]], a very common interval. 1789edo supports the 2.9.5.11.13 subgroup temperament called ''commatose'' which uses the Pythagorean comma as a generator, which is excess of six 9/8s over the octave in this case. It is defined as a {{nowrap|460 & 1789}} temperament.

Since 1789edo has a very precise 31/29, it supports tricesimoprimal miracloid—a version of secor with 31/29 as the generator and a flat, meantone-esque fifth of about 692.23 cents. Using the maximal evenness method, we find a {{nowrap|52 & 1789}} temperament. Best subgroup for it is 2.5.7.11.19.29.31, since both 52edo and 1789edo support it well, and the comma basis is 10241/10240, 5858783/5856400, 4093705/4090624, 15109493/15089800, 102942875/102834688.
On the patent val in the 7-limit, 1789edo supports {{nowrap|99 & 373}} temperament called maviloid. In addition, it also tempers out [[2401/2400]].
