Theory

246 = 6 × 41, and 246edo shares its fifth with 41edo. It is only consistent to the 5-odd-limit, but the patent val offers excellent approximations (within half a cent) of prime harmonics 11, 19, and 29, and quite good approximations (within one cent) of 5 and 23. The same 11 and 19 are straight-up inherited by the monstrous 2460edo.

As an equal temperament, 246et tempers out 15625/15552 (kleisma) in the 5-limit; 5120/5103 and 118098/117649 in the 7-limit; and 540/539, 9801/9800 in the 11-limit; 325/324, 625/624 in the 13-limit. It provides the optimal patent val for cata, the 2.3.5.13 subgroup temperament tempering out 325/324 and 625/624. The 246d val supports tritikleismic. The 246ee val supports countercata. The 246f val supports supers.

Subsets and supersets

Since 246 factors into 2 × 3 × 41, 246edo has subset edos 2, 3, 6, 41, 82, and 123.

A step of 246edo is exactly 10 minas.
