30edo's [[patent val]] is a doubled version of the patent val for [[15edo]] through the 11-limit, so 30 can be viewed as a [[contorted]] version of 15. In the 13-limit it supplies the optimal patent val for [[quindecic]] temperament. | 30edo's [[patent val]] is a doubled version of the patent val for [[15edo]] through the 11-limit, so 30 can be viewed as a [[contorted]] version of 15. In the 13-limit it supplies the optimal patent val for [[quindecic]] temperament. If 15edo's mappings are still considered acceptable despite their low relative accuracy in this tuning, it can be seen as supplying an improved mapping of the 13th harmonic to 15edo, much like how 24edo supplies an improved 11 and 13 to 12edo. | ||

However, 5\30 is 200{{c}}, which is a good (and familiar) approximation for 9/8, and hence 30edo can be viewed inconsistently, as having a 9/1 at 95\30 as well as 96\30. | However, 5\30 is 200{{c}}, which is a good (and familiar) approximation for 9/8, and hence 30edo can be viewed inconsistently, as having a 9/1 at 95\30 as well as 96\30. | ||
