12ed12/5 supports the "macro-meantone" temperament which tempers out 15625/15552 in the 12/5.3.4 subgroup. By a weird coincidence, the 12/5, 5/3, and 4/3 in this temperament are very close to stretched 2/1, 3/2, and 5/4, so the MOS scales and ETs supported by macro-meantone are mostly the same as meantone, but with everything now having a period of 12/5 instead of 2/1.
