A reason to double 13edt to 26edt is to approximate the [[8/1|8th]], [[13/1|13th]], [[17/1|17th]], [[20/1|20th]], and [[22/1|22nd]] [[harmonic]]s particularly well{{dubious}}. Moreover, it has an exaggerated [[5L 2s (3/1-equivalent)|triatonic]] scale with 11:16:21 supermajor triads, though only the 16:11 is particularly just due to its best 16 still being 28.04 cents sharp, or just about as bad as the 25 of 12edo (which is 27.373 cents sharp, an essentially just 100:63).

While retaining 13edt's mapping of primes 3, 5, and 7, 26edt adds an accurate prime 17 to the mix, tempering out [[2025/2023]] to split the [[BPS]] generator of [[9/7]] into two intervals of [[17/15]]. This 17/15 generates [[Dubhe]] temperament and mos scales of {{sl|8L 1s}} and {{sl|9L 8s}} that can be used as a simple traversal of 26edt. Among the 3.5.7.17-[[subgroup]] intervals, the accuracy of [[21/17]] should be highlighted, forming a 21-strong [[consistent circle]] that traverses the edt.

26 also supports the temperaments: [[mizar]] (generators ~1097.8c, ~49.7c) and [[bohlenic]] (1\13edt, ~11/1).

Additionally, while still far from perfect, 26edt does slightly improve upon 13edt's approximation of harmonics 11 and 13, which turns out to be sufficient to allow 26edt to be [[consistent]] to the no-twos [[21-odd-limit]], and is in fact the first edt to achieve this.
