58edo is a strong system in the [[11-limit|11-]], [[13-limit|13-]] and [[17-limit]]. It is the smallest [[edo]] which is [[consistent]] through the [[17-odd-limit]], and is also the smallest distinctly consistent in the [[11-odd-limit]] (the first equal temperament to map the entire 11-odd-limit [[tonality diamond]] to distinct scale steps), and hence the first which can define a tempered version of the famous 43-note [[Harry Partch related scales|Genesis scale]] of [[Harry Partch]].

While the [[17/1|17th harmonic]] is a cent and a half flat, the harmonics below it are all a little sharp, giving it the sound of a sharp system. Since {{nowrap|58 {{=}} 2 × 29}}, 58edo shares the same excellent fifth with [[29edo]].
While the [[17/1|17th harmonic]] is a cent and a half flat, the harmonics below it are all a little sharp, giving it the sound of a sharp system. Since {{nowrap|58 {{=}} 2 × 29}}, 58edo shares the same excellent perfect fifth with [[29edo]]. It is the last edo to have exactly one [[5L 2s|diatonic]] perfect fifth and no [[5edo]] or [[7edo]] fifths.  


As an equal temperament, 58et tempers out [[2048/2025]] in the [[5-limit]]; [[126/125]], [[1728/1715]], and [[5120/5103]] in the [[7-limit]]; [[176/175]], [[243/242]], [[441/440]], [[540/539]], and [[896/891]] in the 11-limit; [[144/143]], [[351/350]], [[364/363]] in the 13-limit. It [[support]]s [[hemififths]], [[myna]], [[diaschismic]], [[harry]], [[mystery]], [[buzzard]], [[thuja]] [[regular temperament|temperament]]s plus a number of [[gravity family]] [[extension]]s, and supplies the [[optimal patent val]] for the 7-, 11- and 13-limit diaschismic, 11- and 13-limit hemififths, 11- and 13-limit thuja, and 13-limit myna. It also supplies the optimal patent val for the 13-limit rank-3 temperaments [[thrush]], [[bluebird]], [[aplonis]] and [[jofur]].

Of all edos which map the syntonic comma ([[81/80]]) to 1 step by patent val, 58edo is the one with the step size closest to 81/80, with one step of 58edo being less than 1{{cent}} narrower than the just interval.

=== Ups and downs notation ===
In 58edo, a sharp raises by six steps, so a combination of quarter tone accidentals and arrow accidentals from [[Helmholtz–Ellis notation]] can be used to fill in the gaps.
58edo can be notated with ups and downs, spoken as up, dup, trup, dudsharp, downsharp, sharp, upsharp etc. and down, dud, trud, dupflat etc.  
{{Sharpness-sharp6a}}


Half-sharps and half-flats can be used to avoid triple arrows:
{{Sharpness-sharp6b}}
Alternatively, a combination of quarter tone accidentals and arrow accidentals from [[Helmholtz–Ellis notation]] can be used.

If double arrows are not desirable, then arrows can be attached to quarter-tone accidentals:
