I have split these edos into categories based on step size:

* 1~~-4edo — '''Trivial''' (subset of 12edo)~~

* 1-9edo — '''Macrotonal''' (133.33-1200¢)

* 5-9edo — '''Macrotonal''' (133.33-~~240¢~~)

* 10-19edo — '''Semitonal''' (63.16-120¢)

* 20-29edo — '''Large Diesitonal''' (41.38-60¢)

This edo is just straight up a better version of 2edo. It's a diminished tetrad, but specifically one that closes the octave and, as such, cannot be inverted. It's so metal it has 2 tritones.

~~This is technically a trivial edo~~, ~~but~~ I'd say ~~it's much more~~ interesting ~~than 1-4edo~~ because it contains a whole ~~tone (6edo being the familiar whole tone scale of 12edo)~~. There are many pieces that make use of the whole tone scale, but very few that strictly exist in 6edo. [[wikipedia:Claude_Debussy|Claude Debussy]] is well known for his use of this scale. Overall, this is a very interesting color to use while working in 6n-edos, but a very limiting scale to use in isolation. The best 6edo pieces I could find are the prelude and invention from [[Aaron Andrew Hunt]]'s "[https://aaronandrewhunt.bandcamp.com/album/the-equal-tempered-keyboard The Equal Tempered Keyboard]," and honestly they are pretty interesting.
