The '''13-limit''' or 13-prime-limit consists of [[just intonation]] [[interval]]s such that the highest [[prime factor]] in all [[ratio]]s is 13. Thus, [[40/39]] would be within the 13-limit, since 40 is 2 × 2 × 2 × 5 and 39 is 3 × 13, but [[34/33]] would not, since 34 is 2 × 17, and [[17-limit|17]] is a prime number higher than 13. The 13-limit is the 6th [[prime limit]] and is thus a superset of the [[11-limit]] and a subset of the [[17-limit]].

Thus, [[40/39]] would be within the 13-limit, since 40 is {{nowrap|2 × 2 × 2 × 5}} and 39 is {{nowrap|3 × 13}}, but [[34/33]] would not, since 34 is {{nowrap|2 × 17}}, and [[17-limit|17]] is a prime number higher than 13. The 13-limit is the 6th [[prime limit]] and is thus a superset of the [[11-limit]] and a subset of the [[17-limit]].  


The 13-limit is a [[Rank and codimension|rank-6]] system, and can be modeled in a 5-dimensional [[lattice]], with the primes 3, 5, 7, 11, and 13 represented by each dimension. The prime 2 does not appear in the typical 13-limit lattice because [[octave equivalence]] is presumed. If octave equivalence is not presumed, a sixth dimension is needed.

Here is a list of [[edo]]s which represent 13-limit intervals better (decreasing [[TE error]]): {{EDOs| 26, 27e, 29, 31, 41, 46, 53, 58, 72, 87, 103, 111, 121, 130, 183, 190, 198, 224, 270, 494 }} and so on.

Here is a list of edos which tunes the 13-limit well relative to their size ([[TE relative error]] < 5.5%): {{EDOs| 31, 41, 46, 53, 58, 72, 87, 94, 103, 111, 121, 130, 140, 152f, 159, 183, 190, 198, 212, 217, 224, 270, 282, 296, 301, 311, 320, 328, 342f, 354, 364, 369f, 373, 383, 400, 414, 422, 431, 441, 460, 472, 494 }} and so on.

: '''Note''': [[wart notation]] is used to specify the [[val]] chosen for the edo. In the above list, "27e" means taking the second closest approximation of harmonic 11.
