{{Harmonics in equal|139|5|1}}
139ed5 is similar to [[60edo]], but with the 5th harmonic being [[just]], instead of the [[2/1|octave]] being just. The octave is [[stretched and compressed tuning|stretched]] by about 2.73 cents. Like 60edo, 139ed5 is [[consistent]] to the [[integer limit|10-integer-limit]].


On the harmonics 2, [[3/1|3]], 5, [[7/1|7]], [[11/1|11]], 60edo has 0%, -10%, -32%, -44% and +43% relative error. On those same harmonics, 139ed5 has +14%, +12%, 0%, -6% and -10% relative error. This is a large improvement relative to the step size of the tuning if the focus is on the higher [[prime harmonic|primes]], and is the main reason why a composer might choose to use 139ed5.
