Many of 26ed5’s 'near-miss' [[prime]]s are tuned sharp, so 26ed5 can be made to work more normally by [[Octave shrinking|compressing]] 26ed5’s [[equave]], making [[5/1]] slightly flat but still okay and the other primes more in-tune. | Many of 26ed5’s 'near-miss' [[prime]]s are tuned sharp, so 26ed5 can be made to work more normally by [[Octave shrinking|compressing]] 26ed5’s [[equave]], making [[5/1]] slightly flat but still okay and the other primes more in-tune. | ||

[[Octave stretch|Stretching]] rather than compressing the equave is also an option. It will change a lot of [[val]]s, so the tuning may not longer be fully recognisable as 26ed5, however the right amount of stretching will improve primes. | [[Octave stretch|Stretching]] rather than compressing the equave is also an option.
