Unfortunately the [[Leapday]] diatonic scale makes basic 5-limit minor and major intervals complex, and with this mapping they are awkward to play. (For example, reaching 5/4 using only sharps and flats would require a triply-augmented unison, such as C–C𝄪♯ or C to C triple sharp). Despite this, [[Bryan Deister]] has used this mapping in [https://www.youtube.com/shorts/fxEWnqvZtjY ''Memory Image - Claude Larson (microtonal cover in 46edo)''] (2025).

The [[Lumatone mapping for Amity]] is a good compromise between the Rodan and Sensi mappings above, since it provides an even heptatonic scale, making the full gamut playable, puts 5-limit minor and major chords within easy reach, and has the chroma going in the correct direction. [[ Bryan Deister]] demonstrates this in [https://www.youtube.com/shorts/IWYJPyWE_Ao ''46edo waltz''] (2025).
