12 equal divisions of 12/5 (12ed12/5) is the tuning system that divides the classic minor tenth (12/5) into a number of equal steps.

Temperaments

12ed12/5 supports the "macro-meantone" temperament which tempers out 15625/15552 in the 12/5.3.4 subgroup. By a weird coincidence, this temperament is very close to a version of meantone with all intervals stretched by about 26%, such that 2/1 becomes approximately 12/5, 3/2 becomes approximately 5/3, and 5/4 becomes approximately 4/3. The ~4:5:6 chord becomes stretched to the point where it is a ~3:4:5 chord. Even MOS patterns are similar to meantone.
