42edo has a [[patent val]] [[3/2|fifth]] (the step of which is not from [[7edo]], this being a first for edos of the form 7''n'') and a third both over 12 cents sharp, using the same 400-cent interval to represent [[5/4]] as does [[12edo]], which means it [[tempering out|tempers out]] [[128/125]]. In the [[7-limit]], it tempers out [[64/63]] and [[126/125]], making it a tuning [[support]]ing the [[augene]] temperament.

42edo is on the [[optimal ET sequence]] of the [[Augmented family#eugene|eugene]], [[joan]], [[lemba]], [[neutron]], [[qeema]], [[seville]], [[sevond]], [[skateboard]], [[tritikleismic]] and [[vines]] temperaments.

42edo is a diatonic edo because its 5th falls between {{nowrap|4\7 {{=}} 686{{c}}}} and {{nowrap|3\5 {{=}} 720{{c}}}}. 42edo is one of the most difficult diatonic edos to notate, because no other diatonic edo's fifth is as sharp (see [[47edo]] for the opposite extreme).

'''[[Skip fretting]] system 42 3 11''': One way to play [[42edo]] on a [[14edo]] guitar is to tune the strings 11\42, or approximately a [[just]] 6/5, apart. All examples on this page are for 7-string guitar.
