65edo tunes [[primes]] 2, 3, 5 and 11 very well, but its 7 and 13 have two about equally-bad mappings. [[Octave shrinking|Shrinking]] the octave of 65edo by the right amount improves its approximations of [[JI]] by flipping 7 and 13 to their opposite [[mapping]], at the cost of relatively little damage to other primes. (Stretching would do unacceptably much damage.)
65edo tunes [[primes]] 2, 3, 5 and 11 very well, but its 7 and 13 have two about equally-bad mappings. [[Stretched and compressed tuning|Stretching or shrinking the octave]] of 65edo for improvements in its approximations of [[JI]] therefore depends on which mapping is used: the sharp tending 65d val wants octave shrinking, whereas the flat tending 65f val wants octave stretching; both can be achieved at the cost of relatively little damage to other primes.  


Some tunings of 65edo which do this include [[zpi|334zpi]], [[ed5|151ed5]] and [[equal tuning|225ed11]].
