256edo is [[contorted]] in the 5-limit, and the error of harmonic 7 leads to inconsistency, which is likely one of the reasons this EDO attracts little interest. 256edo is good at the 2.23.43.47 subgroup. If the error below 40% is considered "good", 256edo can be used to play no-fives 17 limit.

256edo ~~can also be played using non~~-~~contorted harmonics, no matter how bad~~ the ~~approximation. Under such rule~~, ~~256edo supports~~ the 2.7~~.13.19 subgroup. In~~ the 2.~~7.13.19 subgroup in~~ the ~~patent~~ val, ~~256edo~~ tempers out ~~32851~~/~~32768~~, ~~and~~ [[support]]s the ~~corresponding 20 & 73 & 256 rank~~ 3 ~~temperament~~.

256edo is [[enfactoring|enfactored]] in the [[5-limit]] with the same tuning as [[128edo]], and the error of [[harmonic]] [[7/1|7]] leads to in[[consistency]], which is likely one of the reasons this edo attracts little interest. To start with, consider the sharp-tending 256c [[val]] {{val| 256 406 '''595''' 719 886 }}, which [[tempering out|tempers out]] [[2401/2400]], [[3388/3375]], [[5120/5103]], so that it [[support]]s 7-limit [[hemififths]] and [[11-limit]] [[semihemi]]. The [[patent val]] {{val| 256 406 '''594''' 719 886 }} tempers out [[540/539]], 2200/2187, [[4000/3969]], 12005/11979, among others. It is best tuned in the 2.3.7.11 [[subgroup]], in which it is consistent to the [[11-odd-limit]] minus intervals involving [[5/1|5]].

In the higher limits, it approximates harmonics 23, 43, and 47 quite accurately.

Since 256 factors into {{factorization|256}}, 256edo has subset edos {{EDOs| 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, and 128 }}.
