The excellent tuning accuracy does not bar it from the utility of [[essentially tempered chord]]s, including [[sinbadmic chords]] in the 13-odd-limit, and [[island chords]] in the 15-odd-limit.

Beyond the 13-limit, the approxiamted [[17/1|harmonic 17]] is more than 1/3-edostep, but the [[19/1|harmonic 19]] is very accurately tuned. [[17/13]] and its [[octave complement]] [[26/17]] are the only inconsistently approximated [[21-odd-limit]] intervals, each barely missing the mark (50.4% relative error). The [[23/1|harmonic 23]] is more than 1/3-edostep flat, which incurs more inconsistencies in the next odd limits yet makes 270edo viable but tricky for the full [[23-limit]]. It tempers out [[715/714]], [[936/935]], [[1089/1088]], [[1225/1224]], [[1701/1700]], [[2025/2023]], [[2058/2057]], and [[2431/2430]] in the [[17-limit]]; [[1216/1215]], [[1331/1330]], [[1521/1520]], [[1540/1539]], and [[1729/1728]] in the [[19-limit]]. If the full 23-limit is desired, then [[460/459]], [[529/528]], [[736/735]], [[897/896]], [[1288/1287]], 1311/1309, and 1771/1768 are further tempered out.

The harmonics [[29/1|29]] and [[31/1|31]] are also more than 1/3-edostep sharp, but not as sharp as the 17 to incur inconsistency ([[29/26]] and [[31/26]] are critically sharp but still consistent). This makes 270edo consistent in the no-17/13 no-23 [[35-odd-limit]]. Notably, it tempers out [[784/783]], [[900/899]], and [[1024/1023]], while inflating [[841/840]] and [[961/960]].
