Theory
58edo is a strong system in the 11-, 13- and 17-limit. It is the smallest edo which is consistent through the 17-odd-limit, and is also the smallest distinctly consistent in the 11-odd-limit (the first equal temperament to map the entire 11-odd-limit tonality diamond to distinct scale steps), and hence the first which can define a tempered version of the famous 43-note Genesis scale of Harry Partch.
58et tempers out 2048/2025, 126/125, 1728/1715, 144/143, 176/175, 896/891, 243/242, 5120/5103, 351/350, 364/363, 441/440, and 540/539. It supports hemififths, myna, diaschismic, harry, mystery, buzzard and thuja temperaments, and supplies the optimal patent val for the 7-, 11- and 13-limit diaschismic, 11- and 13-limit hemififths, 11- and 13-limit thuja, and 13-limit myna. It also supplies the optimal patent val for the 13-limit rank-3 temperaments thrush, bluebird, aplonis and jofur.
While the 17th harmonic is a cent and a half flat, the harmonics below it are all a little sharp, giving it the sound of a sharp system.
Of all edos which map the syntonic comma (81/80) to 1 step by patent val, 58edo is the one with the step size closest to 81/80, with one step of 58edo being less than 1 ¢ narrower than the just interval.
