Theory
68edo's step is half of the step size of 34edo, which does well in the 5-limit but not so well in the 7-limit, and one quarter the size of 17edo, which does well in the 3-limit, but not so well in the 5-limit. The luck continues: 68 is a strong 7-limit system, but does not do as well for in 11-limit; though it's certainly usable for that purpose, it does not represent the 11-limit diamond consistently. However, 68edo maps many higher primes better than it does 11, notably being consistent in the entire no-11s 25-odd limit.
As a 7-limit system it tempers out 2048/2025, 245/243, 4000/3969, 15625/15552, 3136/3125, 6144/6125 and 2401/2400. It supports octacot, shrutar, hemiwürschmidt, hemikleismic, clyde and neptune temperaments, and supplies the optimal patent val for 11-limit hemikleismic. It is a sharp-tending system, with the 3rd, 5th and 7th harmonics all sharp.
The 3rd degree of 68edo can be used as a generator for stretched 23edo, which also acts as the quartkeenlig temperament tempering out the quartisma, 385/384 and 6250/6237. It results in a 23edo scale with octaves stretched by 1 step of 68edo (octaves of 1217.65 cents). It also works as a 22L 1s MOS of the quartkeenlig temperament.
The 5th degree of 68edo can be used as a generator for 88cET.
