A good compressed tuning of 26ed5 is [[46ed17]], which transforms 26ed5 from a 5.41 tuning to a 3.5.11.17.23.43 tuning. The 3/1 in 46ed17 isn’t that good, comparable to [[5edo]], but it’s a huge improvement on 26ed5. And the 5, 11, 17, 23 and 43 are genuinely solid approximations. | A good compressed tuning of 26ed5 is [[46ed17]], which transforms 26ed5 from a 5.41 tuning to a 3.5.11.17.23.43 tuning.

Other tunings which are almost identical to 46ed17, and so provide those same benefits, are [[8ed18/11]] and [[20ed24/7]]. | |||
If one attempts to [[Octave stretch|stretch]] 26ed5 instead of compress, one will not find any tunings that approximate primes well until reaching [[11edo]], so only compression is viable, not stretching. | If one attempts to [[Octave stretch|stretch]] 26ed5 instead of compress, one will not find any tunings that approximate primes well until reaching [[11edo]], so only compression is viable, not stretching. | ||
