This page essentially serves as a harmonization of the other 15edo guides on the wiki, but with plenty of my own details. First, though, a note on what I mean by temperaments related to 15edo.

=15edo-like temperaments=

==15edo-like temperaments==

As established by other wiki members, the [[valentine]] temperament and [[24edt]] are alternatives to 15edo. In my experience, using either is a suitable alternative to 15edo, depending on your purposes.

===24edt===

24 equal divisions of the [[3/1|tritave]] (an octave plus a perfect fifth) gets you an even closer approximation of both valentine and 12edo than 15edo does. Its octave equivalent, 15\24edt, is slightly flat of [[2/1]]. I've seen people comment that 24edt sounds better than 15edo, and the fact that 24edt tones better approximate 12edo is probably why. I personally like to use a variation on 24edt that cuts off at the octave, forcing it to be octave-equivalent rather than tritave-equivalent. At this point it's effectively 15edo tuned a little flat, but that's fine by me.

This basically follows the Greek letter notation, but I find it really dumb that not only does the official one use accidentals that aren't the official sharp and flat letters, but more importantly, it also uses Greek letters that ''sound like'' the first eight Latin letters, rather than the actual first eight Greek letters.
