Theory
With harmonic 3 less than a cent flat, harmonic 5 a bit over three cents sharp and 7's less flat than that, 77edo represents an excellent tuning choice for both valentine, the 31 & 46 temperament, and starling, the 126/125 planar temperament, giving the optimal patent val for 11-limit valentine and its 13-limit extensions dwynwen and valentino, as well as 11-limit starling and oxpecker temperaments. It also gives the optimal patent val for grackle and various members of the unicorn family, with a generator of 4\77 instead of the 5\77 (which gives valentine). These are 7-limit alicorn and 11- and 13-limit camahueto.
77et tempers out 32805/32768 in the 5-limit, 126/125, 1029/1024, and 6144/6125 in the 7-limit, 121/120, 176/175, 385/384, and 441/440 in the 11-limit, and 196/195, 351/350, 352/351, 676/675 and 729/728 in the 13-limit.
The 17 and 19 are tuned fairly well, making it consistent to the no-11 21-odd-limit. The equal temperament tempers out 256/255 in the 17-limit; and 171/170, 361/360, 513/512, and 1216/1215 in the 19-limit.
77edo is an excellent edo for Carlos Alpha, since the difference between 5 steps of 77edo and 1 step of Carlos Alpha is only −0.042912 cents.
