Theory: +octave stretch
Theory: full 23-limit isn't too much of a stretch

It is the [[optimal patent val]] for 7- and 13-limit [[quadritikleismic]] temperament, the 7-limit [[Kleismic rank three family #Rank-3 kleismic|rank-3 kleismic]] temperament, and the 13-limit rank-3 [[agni]] temperament. It enables [[marveltwin chords]], [[keenanismic chords]], [[sinbadmic chords]], and [[lambeth chords]] in the 13-odd-limit in addition to [[island chords]] in the 15-odd-limit.

The 212gh val shows some potential beyond 15-odd-limit. Also, using 212bb val (where fifth is flattened by single step, approximately 1/4 comma) gives a tuning almost identical to the POTE tuning for 5-limit meantone. This is related to the fact that 212edo splits steps of 53edo, which are mapped to a syntonic comma, in four.
To the 13-limit we may add the [[prime harmonic|prime]] [[23/1|23]] without introducing too much extra error, tempering out [[484/483]] and [[507/506]]. The 212gh val shows some potential if the full [[23-limit]] is desired, where it notably tempers out [[289/288]] and [[361/360]].

Since 212 factors into {{factorisation|212}}, 212edo has subset edos {{EDOs| 2, 4, 53, and 106 }}. As such, it can be used to tune the 53rd-octave [[cartography]] temperament and the 106th-octave [[boiler]] temperment.
