240edo is [[consistent]] in the [[5-odd-limit]] and notably provides the [[optimal patent val]] for the 5-limit [[compton]] temperament, the rank-2 temperament associated with the [[Pythagorean comma]]. However, its mapping for 3 is not well approximated, meaning it is a [[dual-fifth system]], with alternate mapping for 3/2 is the 705-cent sharp fifth inherited from [[80edo]].

Although no longer consistent to to the higher limits, 240edo's [[patent val]] [[tempering out|tempers out]] the [[225/224]] in the 7-limit, supporting [[marvel]] temperaments with harmonics 3, 5, 7 having less than two cents of error. Retuning 5-limit scales to 240edo is a simple way to to make them function as 7-limit scales while retaining very accurate tuning.

From a regular temperament theory perspective in the 7-limit, 240edo is similar to [[197edo]]. The main difference is that 197edo, despite a flatter third, gives generally better results and may be preferred, whitherfore a compromise between good results and an accurate 5 may be worked out by means of retuning 5-limit scales to the 43 & 197 temperament, which has a comma basis {225/224, {{monzo| -49 19 -10 15 }}} in the 7-limit.
