26edo has a [[3/2|perfect fifth]] of about 692 cents and [[tempering out|tempers out]] [[81/80]] in the [[5-limit]], making it a very flat [[meantone]] tuning (0.088957{{c}} flat of the [[4/9-comma meantone]] fifth) with a very soft [[5L 2s|diatonic scale]].  
26edo has a [[3/2|perfect fifth]] of about 692 cents and [[tempering out|tempers out]] [[81/80]] in the [[5-limit]], making it a very flat [[meantone]] tuning (0.088957{{c}} flat of the [[4/9-comma meantone]] fifth) with a very soft [[5L 2s|diatonic scale]].  


In the [[7-limit]], it tempers out [[50/49]], [[525/512]], [[875/864]], and [[Fynn's comma]], and [[support]]s temperaments like [[injera]], [[flattone]], [[lemba]], and [[doublewide]]. It really comes into its own as a higher-limit temperament, being the smallest equal division which represents the [[13-odd-limit]] [[consistent]]ly. 26edo has a very good approximation of the harmonic seventh ([[7/4]]), as it is the denominator of a convergent to log<sub>2</sub>7.

26edo's minor sixth (1.6158) is very close to {{nowrap|''φ'' ≈ 1.6180}} (i.e. the golden ratio).

26edo has [[2edo]] and [[13edo]] as subsets, of which 13edo is non-trivial, sharing the 2.9.5.21.11.13.17.19-subgroup with 26edo. Multiplying 26edo by 3 yields [[78edo]], which corrects several harmonics. [[104edo]] is a notable dual-5s system. [[130edo]], [[364edo]], [[494edo]], and [[624edo]] do well in approximating JI, though they are more complex.

26edo tempers out [[Fynn's comma]], which sets ~7/4 to 21\26. This is shared by several notable superset edos. Multiplying 26edo by 3 yields [[78edo]], which corrects several harmonics. [[104edo]] is a notable dual-5's system. [[130edo]], [[364edo]], [[494edo]], and [[624edo]] do well in approximating JI, though they are more complex.
