m →Higher-accuracy interpretations: finish removing intervals of 75 cuz somehow i forgot to check for 75*2=150
→Rank-2 temperaments: 81/80 can't be the associated ratio for 1\63 in Sevond, because 63edo maps 81/80 inconsistently to 2\63; I think 64/63 fits the bill, but better check on that

63edo [[tempering out|tempers out]] [[3125/3072]] in the 5-limit and [[225/224]], [[245/243]], and [[875/864]] in the 7-limit, so that it [[support]]s [[magic]] temperament. In the 11-limit it tempers out [[100/99]], supporting 11-limit magic, plus [[385/384]] and [[540/539]], [[896/891]]. In the 13-limit it tempers out [[169/168]], [[275/273]], [[640/637]], [[352/351]], [[364/363]] and [[676/675]]. It provides the [[optimal patent val]] for [[immune]], the {{nowrap| 29 & 34d }} temperament in the 7-, 11- and 13-limit.  
63edo is almost [[consistent]] to the [[15-odd-limit]]; the only inconsistency is that [[10/9]] is mapped to 9\63 (1\7, the same as what [[11/10]] is mapped to consistently) so that it is almost 11{{cent}} out of tune. This corresponds to 63edo exaggerating the syntonic comma, [[81/80]], to two steps, so that it finds a somewhat flat mean-tone between ~10/9 and ~9/8.
 
As an equal temperament, it [[tempering out|tempers out]] [[3125/3072]] in the 5-limit and [[225/224]], [[245/243]], and [[875/864]] in the 7-limit, so that it [[support]]s [[magic]] temperament. In the 11-limit it tempers out [[100/99]], supporting 11-limit magic, plus [[385/384]] and [[540/539]], [[896/891]]. In the 13-limit it tempers out [[169/168]], [[275/273]], [[640/637]], [[352/351]], [[364/363]] and [[676/675]]. It provides the [[optimal patent val]] for [[immune]], the {{nowrap| 29 & 34d }} temperament in the 7-, 11- and 13-limit.  


63 is also a fascinating division to look at in the [[47-limit]]. Although it does not deal as well with primes 5, 17, 19, 37 and 41, it excels in the 2.3.7.11.13.23.29.31.43.47 [[subgroup]], and is a great candidate for a [[gentle]] tuning. Its regular augmented fourth (+6 fifths) is less than 0.3 cents sharp of [[23/16]], therefore tempering out [[736/729]]. Its diesis (+12 fifths) can represent [[33/32]], [[32/31]], [[30/29]], [[29/28]], [[28/27]], as well as [[91/88]], and more, so it is very versatile, making chains of fifths of 12 tones or longer very useful in covering harmonic and melodic ground while providing a lot of different colour in different keys. We can take advantage of the representation of 27:28:29:30:31:32:33, which splits [[11/9]] into six "small dieses" as a result; here it can be seen more clearly why these are not regular quarter-tones so are best distinguished from such with the qualifier "large", as otherwise we would expect to see some flavour of minor third after six of them.

The following table was created using [[User:Godtone#My python 3 code|Godtone's code]] with the command <code><nowiki>interpret_edo(63,ol=53,no=[5,17,19,25,27,37,41,51],add=[73,75,87,89,91,93,105],dec="''",wiki=23)</nowiki></code> (run in a Python 3 interactive console) plus manual correction of the order of some inconsistent intervals and removal of unsimplified intervals of 75.
The following table was created using [[User:Godtone#My python 3 code|Godtone's code]] with the command <code><nowiki>interpret_edo(63,ol=53,no=[5,17,19,25,27,37,41,51],add=[73,75,87,89,91,93,105],dec="''",wiki=23)</nowiki></code> (run in a Python 3 interactive console) plus manual correction of the order of some inconsistent intervals, removal of unsimplified intervals of 75, and adding of (the inconsistent but simple) 10/9, 21/20 and their octave-complements.


As the command and description indicates, it is a(n accurate) "no-5's"* no-17's no-19's no-25's no-27's no-37's no-41's 49-odd-limit add-53 add-63 add-73 add-87 add-89 add-91 add-93 add-105 interpretation, tuned to the strengths of 63edo. * Note that because of the cancellation of factors, some odd harmonics of 5 (the simpler/more relevant ones) are present, EG {{nowrap|75/3 {{=}} 25}}, {{nowrap|45/3 {{=}} 15}}, {{nowrap|105/75 {{=}} 7/5}}, {{nowrap| 75/35/2 {{=}} 15/14}}, and {{nowrap|45/9 {{=}} 5}}, so it isn't really "no-5's", just has a de-emphasized focus.
