Correct math: 26, 29 & 41 are all lower edos consistent in the 13 or 15-limit. Add categories.

A good way to play in 46-edo on a stringed instrument is with a 23-edo fretboard and strings tuned 11\46 apart.
A good way to play in [[46edo|46-edo]] on a stringed instrument is with a [[23edo|23-edo]] fretboard and strings tuned 11\46 apart, a [[Gentle_region_(extended_version)|neo-gothic]] approximation of [[13/11]].

46-edo is harmonically exceptional. Among other virtues, it is the first edo consistent in the 13-limit. See [[46edo]].
46-edo is harmonically exceptional, having one of the lowest [[Relative_errors_of_small_EDOs|high prime limit errors]] of any edo under 100, although it it only consistent up to the 13.


The thirds in 46-edo can be easier for a listener used to 12-edo to accept than those in 41-edo. (In 46-edo, thirds are 5c sharp; in 12-edo they are 14c sharp; and in 41-edo they are 6c flat.)

The most difficult 15-limit ratios (12:11 and 13:12) to play span 8 frets of 23-edo, which is equivalent to 4.2 frets of 12-edo (since 8*12/23 = 4.2). This is a little narrower (i.e. easier) than the widest 15-limit stretch in the Kite tuning, which is 4.6 frets of 12 edo.
