Using the [[patent val]], 51et [[tempering out|tempers out]] [[250/243]] in the [[5-limit]], [[225/224]] and [[2401/2400]] in the [[7-limit]], and [[55/54]] and [[100/99]] in the [[11-limit]]. It is the [[optimal patent val]] for [[sonic]], the rank-3 temperament tempering out 55/54, 100/99, and 250/243, and also for the rank-4 temperament tempering out 55/54. It provides an alternative tuning to [[22edo]] for [[porcupine]], with a nice fifth but a rather flat major third, and the optimal patent val for the 7- and 11-limit [[porky]] temperament, which is sonic plus 225/224. It contains an archeotonic ([[6L 1s]]) scale based on repetitions of 8\51, creating a scale with a whole-tone-like drive towards the tonic through the 17edo semitone at the top.

Using the 51c val {{val| 51 81 '''119''' 143 }}, the [[5/4]] is mapped to 1\3 (400 cents), [[support]]ing [[augmented (temperament)|augmented]]. In the 7-limit it tempers out [[245/243]] and supports [[hemiaug]] and [[rodan]]. Alternatively, the 51cd val {{val| 51 81 '''119''' '''144''' }} takes the same [[7/4]] from 17edo, and supports [[augene]]. The 51ce val {{val| 51 81 '''119''' 143 '''177''' 189 }} supports a variant of rodan called [[aerodino]].

51edo's step is the closest direct approximation to the [[Pythagorean comma]] by edo steps, though that comma itself is mapped to a different interval.

=== Ups and downs notation ===
=== Stein–Zimmermann–Gould notation ===
51edo can be notated with ups and downs, spoken as up, dup, trup, dudsharp, downsharp, sharp, upsharp etc. and down, dud, trud, dupflat etc.  
[[Stein–Zimmermann–Gould notation]] for 51edo uses sharps and flats combined with quartertone accidentals and arrows:
{{Sharpness-sharp6-szg}}
 
If double arrows are not desirable, then arrows can be attached to quartertone accidentals:
{{Sharpness-sharp6-qt-szg}}
 
=== Kite's ups and downs notation ===
51edo can also be notated with [[Kite's ups and downs notation|Kite's ups and downs]], spoken as up, dup, trup, dudsharp, downsharp, sharp, upsharp etc. and down, dud, trud, dupflat etc.  
{{Sharpness-sharp6a}}
{{Sharpness-sharp6a}}


Half-sharps and half-flats can be used to avoid triple arrows:
Half-sharps and half-flats can be used to avoid triple arrows:
{{Sharpness-sharp6b}}
{{Sharpness-sharp6b}}
In 51edo, a combination of quarter tone accidentals and arrow accidentals from [[Helmholtz–Ellis notation]] can be used.
{{Sharpness-sharp6}}
If double arrows are not desirable, then arrows can be attached to quarter-tone accidentals:
{{Sharpness-sharp6-qt}}

Since a sharp raises by six steps, Wyschnegradsky accidentals borrowed from [[72edo]] can also be used:

=== Sagittal notation ===
In the following diagrams, 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.
