81edo is notable as a tuning for [[meantone family|meantone]] and related temperaments and is the [[optimal patent val]] for a number of them. In particular it is the optimal patent val for 5-limit meantone, 7-limit meantone, 11-limit meanpop, 13-limit meanpop, and the rank-3 temperament [[erato]].

As a step in the [[Golden meantone]] series of edos, 81edo marks the point at which the series ceases to display audible changes to meantone temperament, and is also the edo with the lowest average and most evenly spread Just-error across the scale (though 31edo does have the best [[7/4|harmonic 7th]]).

Besides meantone, 81edo is a tuning for the [[cobalt]] temperament, since 81 contains 27 as a divisor. It also tunes the unnamed 15 & 51 temperament which divides the octave into 3 equal parts, and is a member of the [[augmented-cloudy equivalence continuum]]. 81bd val is a tuning for the [[Porcupine family#Septimal porcupine|septimal porcupine]] temperament.

The 81bd val is a tuning for the [[Porcupine family#Septimal porcupine|septimal porcupine]] temperament.

In the higher limits, it is a strong tuning for the 2.5.17.19 subgroup, and also can be used to map [[19/17]] to the meantone major second resulting from stacking of two patent val fifths (13\81).

81edo ~~Accidentals~~ created and used by Tom Winspear, based on those provided in Scala though with a logic correction. The innermost accidentals represent one edostep, followed by two, then the bracket representing three. Conventional sharp/doublesharp/flat/doubleflat accidentals are reached in steps of five and the pattern repeats itself on them. The chromatic scale can be notated utilizing only six accidentals in either direction - the rest are for enharmonics.
