49edo is very much on the sharp side of things, with sharp tunings of [[harmonic]]s [[3/1|3]], [[5/1|5]], [[7/1|7]], and [[11/1|11]]. It is the [[optimal patent val]] for [[superpyth]] temperament in the 7- and 11-limit, [[Archytas family #Archytas|archytas]] ([[7-limit]]), and [[Archytas family #Ares|ares]] ([[11-limit]]) planar temperaments, being almost exactly equal to {{frac|3|10}}-comma superpyth. It [[tempering out|tempers out]] [[64/63]], [[245/243]], and [[3125/3087]] in the 7-limit, and [[100/99]] and [[1375/1372]] in the 11-limit.

In the 13-limit, its [[patent val]] {{val| 49 78 114 138 170 181 }}, has a rather flat (by relative error) harmonic [[13/1|13]], which leads to inconsistent mappings; but using the 49f val {{val| 49 78 114 138 170 182 }} improves 13-limit consistency, and in this val it tempers out [[364/363]] and [[847/845]].

Since 49 factors into {{factorization|49}}, 49edo contains [[7edo]] as its only nontrivial subset. 49edo is the first square edo with a [[enfactoring|non-enfactored]] diatonic fifth.
Since 49 factors into primes as 7<sup>2</sup>, 49edo contains [[7edo]] as its only nontrivial subset. 49edo is the first square edo with a [[enfactoring|non-enfactored]] diatonic fifth. Doubling it produces [[98edo]], a respectable (if overly complex) [[meantone]] tuning.

49edo's [[prime]]s 3, 5, 7 and 11 are all tuned sharp, so 49edo can benefit from [[octave shrinking]]. Some compressed-octave tunings of 49edo include (least to most compression): [[ed12|176ed12]], [[ed5|114ed5]], [[zpi|233zpi]], [[ed6|127ed6]], [[ed7|138ed7]] and [[78edt]].

=== Nonoctave temperament ===
The TE-optimized [[Triple BP|triple Bohlen–Pierce scale]] is obtained by taking every second degree of 49edo with the octave compressed by 3.861 cents to 1196.139 cents. It realizes the Tenney–Euclidean regular temperament on the 3.5.7.11.13 subgroup mapped as [⟨78 114 138 170 182]]. Under this compression, the primes map to the 49fgh val in the 23-limit.
