54edo is suitable for usage with [[dual-fifth tuning]] systems, or alternately, no-fifth tuning systems. 54edo has an ultrahard diatonic scale using the sharp fifth of [[27edo]] and an ultrasoft diatonic using the flat fifth. The soft diatonic scale is so soft, with L/s = 8/7, that it stops sounding like [[meantone]] or even [[flattone]], but | 54edo is suitable for usage with [[dual-fifth tuning]] systems, or alternately, no-fifth tuning systems. 54edo has an ultrahard diatonic scale using the sharp fifth of [[27edo]] and an ultrasoft diatonic using the flat fifth. The soft diatonic scale is so soft, with L/s = 8/7, that it stops sounding like [[meantone]] or even [[flattone]], but just sounds like a [[circulating temperament]] of [[7edo]]. | ||
It's a rare temperament which adds better approximations of the 11th and 15th harmonics from [[27edo]], which it doubles. 54edo contains an alternate (flat) mapping of the fifth and an "extreme bayati" 6 6 10 10 2 10 10 diatonic scale. | It's a rare temperament which adds better approximations of the 11th and 15th harmonics from [[27edo]], which it doubles. 54edo contains an alternate (flat) mapping of the fifth and an "extreme bayati" 6 6 10 10 2 10 10 diatonic scale. | ||
