=== Subgroup interpretation ===
26ed5 is a weak tuning for [[prime limit]] tuning. It can instead be used as a strong tuning for the obscure [[subgroup]] '''5.6.12.22.32.34.41.44.46.49.53.56.59.63.67'''.

Many of 26ed5’s 'near-miss' [[prime]]s are tuned sharp, so 26ed5 can be made to work more normally by [[Octave stretch|compressing]] 26ed5’s [[equave]], making [[5/1]] slightly flat but still okay and the other primes more in-tune.
Fractional subgroups might also be an option for 26ed5.

=== Equave stretch ===
Many of 26ed5’s 'near-miss' [[prime]]s are tuned sharp, so 26ed5 can be made to work more normally by [[Octave shrinking|compressing]] 26ed5’s [[equave]], making [[5/1]] slightly flat but still okay and the other primes more in-tune.
 
[[29ed6]] is a compressed version of 26ed5, compressing 5/1 by roughly 5 cents, but even it is not enough to bring many primes into line. Further compression than that is required.
 
[[Octave stretch|Stretching]] rather than compressing the equave is also an option. It will change a lot of [[val]]s, so the tuning may not longer be fully recognisable as 26ed5, however the right amount of stretching will improve primes.
