74edo is most notable as a [[meantone]] tuning, [[tempering out]] [[81/80]] in the [[5-limit]]; [[126/125]] and [[225/224]] in the [[7-limit]]; [[99/98]], [[176/175]] and [[441/440]] in the [[11-limit]]; and [[144/143]] and [[847/845]] in the [[13-limit]]. Discarding 847/845 from that gives the 13-limit meantone extension [[grosstone]], for which 74edo gives the [[optimal patent val]]; and discarding 144/143 gives [[semimeantone]], a 13-limit 62 & 74 temperament with half-octave period and two parallel tracks of meantone.

74edo tunes [[harmonic]] [[11/1|11]] only 1/30 of a cent sharp, and [[13/1|13]] 2.7 cents sharp, making it a distinctly interesting choice for higher-limit meantone.

Since 74 factors into {{factorization|74}}, 74edo contains [[2edo]] and [[37edo]] as its subsets.
Since 74 factors into {{factorization|74}}, 74edo contains [[2edo]] and [[37edo]] as its subsets; of these, 37edo has the same highly accurate prime harmonics in the no-3s [[13-limit]].

In the diagrams above, a sagittal symbol followed by an equals sign (=) means that the following comma is the symbol's [[Sagittal notation#Primary comma|primary comma]] (the comma it ''exactly'' represents in JI), while an approximately equals sign (≈) means it is a secondary comma (a comma it ''approximately'' represents in JI). In both cases the symbol exactly represents the tempered version of the comma in this EDO.
