10edo can be thought of as two circles of [[5edo]] separated by 120 cents (or 5 circles of [[2edo]]). It adds to 5edo a small neutral second (or large minor 2nd) and its inversion a large neutral seventh (or small major 7th); an excellent approximation of [[13/8]] and its inversion [[16/13]]; and the familiar 600-cent tritone that appears in every even-numbered edo. Taking the the 360 cent large neutral third as a generator produces a heptatonic [[MOS scales|moment of symmetry scale]] of the form {{nowrap|1 2 1 2 1 2 1}} ([[3L 4s]], or "mosh"), which is the most diatonic-like scale in 10edo excluding the 5edo degenerate diatonic scale. While not an integral or gap edo, it is a [[The Riemann Zeta Function and Tuning #Zeta edo lists|zeta peak edo]]. One way to interpret it in terms of a temperament of just intonation is as a 2.7.13.15 subgroup, such that [[105/104]], [[225/224]], [[43904/43875]], and [[16807/16384]] are tempered out. It can also be treated as a full 13-limit temperament, but it is a closer match to the aforementioned subgroup.

Rather surprisingly, 10edo is also the smallest EDO that maintains [[minimal consistent EDOs|25% or lower relative error]] on all of the first eight harmonics of the harmonic series.

== Notation ==
This is the diatonic notation, generated by 5ths (6\10, representing 3/2). Alternative notations include pentatonic fifth-generated and heptatonic 3rd-generated.

=== 3L 4s (mosh) notation ===
The notation of Neutral[7]. Notes are denoted as LsLssLs = CDEFGABC, and raising and lowering by a chroma (L − s), 1 step in this instance, is denoted by ♯ and ♭.
