* 46 – The second essential comma-level edo. Five more notes than 41edo, offering the distinction of two types of neutral intervals at the cost of a narrower septimal diesis. As an eighth-tone system, it has a true quartertone. Best as a 2.3.5.7.11.17.23 subgroup temperament. A-tier.

* 46 – The second essential comma-level edo. Five more notes than 41edo, offering the distinction of two types of neutral intervals at the cost of a narrower septimal diesis. As an eighth-tone system, it has a true quartertone. With that and all the accurate approximations, the expressive possibilities are endless. Best as a 2.3.5.7.11.17.23 subgroup temperament. A-tier.

* 48 – More appropriate as an interval category scheme than anything else. C-tier.

Line 62:

* 53 – The third essential comma-level edo. This one is kinda overrated. The best thing about it is the distinction of 15/13 and 13/10 from nearby septimal intervals, which neither 41- nor 46edo does. What bugs me is that the fifth feels undertempered for pretty much every purpose, and while the 5-limit approximation is praiseworthy the rest deserves more love. Compared to 41- or 46edo, it feels slack and doesn't convey a sense of tightly packed well-compromisedness. A-tier.

* 55 – This edo is out of the optimal range of meantone. Septimal meantone feels dumb here since we know 43edo is sharp enough. It can be used for mohaha, but that feels so similar to 24edo that I'd just go with the latter. D-tier.
