42edo has a fifth (the step of which is not from [[7edo]], this being a first for EDOs of the form 7''n'') and a third both over 12 cents sharp, using the same 400 cent interval to represent [[5/4]] as does [[12edo]], which means it [[tempering out|tempers out]] 128/125. In the [[7-limit]], it tempers out 64/63 and [[126/125]], making it a tuning supporting [[augene]] temperament.

While not an accurate tuning on the full 7-limit, it does an excellent job on the 2.9.15.7.33.39 [[k*N subgroups|2*42 subgroup]], having the same tuning on it as does [[84edo]]. On this subgroup 42 has the same [[comma]]s as 84.
