Exactly analogous to meantone

In octave land, 12edo handles the 2.3.5 subgroup and 11edo handles the 2.7.11 subgroup - ie. meantone and orgone temperaments. In tritave land however, 13edt handles the 3.5.7 territory (Bohlen-Pierce) and 12edt handles the 2.3.5.13.17.19 -- AND! it is a multiple of 4edt which is the simplest BP equal temperament. Now, exactly analogous to meantone, in which (3/2)^4=5/1, here (17/9)^4=(19/10)^4=13/1, tempering out the 171/170, 85293/83521 and 130321/130000 commas. In fact, even the MOS pattern is the same for this higher limit meantone! Relish the sweet 9:13:17 and 20:27:38 chords.

Another example of a macrodiatonic scale is hyperpyth which is found in the fifth harmonic and is based on the 5:9:13:(17):(21) chord.
