56edo shares its near perfect quality of classical major third with [[28edo]], which it doubles, while also adding a superpythagorean 5th that is a convergent towards the [[Metallic harmonic series|bronze metallic mean]], following [[17edo]] and preceding [[185edo]]. Because it contains 28edo's major third and also has a step size very close to the syntonic comma, 56edo contains very accurate approximations of both the classic major third [[5/4]] and the Pythagorean major third [[81/64]]. Unfortunately, this "Pythagorean major third" is not the major third as is stacked by fifths in 56edo. | 56edo shares its near perfect quality of classical major third with [[28edo]], which it doubles, while also adding a superpythagorean 5th that is a convergent towards the [[Metallic harmonic series|bronze metallic mean]], following [[17edo]] and preceding [[185edo]].

One step of 56edo is the closest direct approximation to the syntonic comma, [[81/80]], with the number of directly approximated syntonic commas per octave being 55.7976. (However, note that by [[patent val]] mapping, 56edo actually maps the syntonic comma inconsistently, to two steps.) [[Barium]] temperament realizes this proximity through regular temperament theory, and is supported by notable edos like [[224edo]], [[1848edo]], and [[2520edo]], which is a highly composite edo. | |||
56edo can be used to tune [[hemithirds]], [[superkleismic]], [[sycamore]] and [[keen]] temperaments, and using {{val| 56 89 130 158 }} (56d) as the equal temperament val, for [[pajara]]. It provides the [[optimal patent val]] for 7-, 11- and 13-limit [[sycamore]], and the 11-limit 56d val is close to the [[POTE tuning]] for 11-limit pajara. | 56edo can be used to tune [[hemithirds]], [[superkleismic]], [[sycamore]] and [[keen]] temperaments, and using {{val| 56 89 130 158 }} (56d) as the equal temperament val, for [[pajara]].
