A reason to double 13edt to 26edt is to approximate the 8th, 13th, 17th, 20th, and 22nd harmonics particularly well {{Citation needed}}. Moreover, it has an exaggerated diatonic scale with 11:16:21 supermajor triads, though only the 16:11 is particularly just due to its best 16 still being 28.04 cents sharp, or just about as bad as the 25 of 12edo (which is 27.373 cents sharp, an essentially just 100:63). | A reason to double 13edt to 26edt is to approximate the 8th, 13th, 17th, 20th, and 22nd harmonics particularly well {{Citation needed}}.

While retaining 13edt's mapping of primes 3, 5, and 7, 26edt adds an accurate prime 17 to the mix, tempering out [[2025/2023]] to split the BPS generator of [[9/7]] into two intervals of [[17/15]]. This 17/15 generates [[Dubhe]] temperament and a [[8L 1s (3/1-equivalent)|8L 1s]] MOS scale that can be used as a simple traversal of 26edt. | |||
