This tuning tempers out 36/35 and 50/49 in the 7-limit; 33/32 and 45/44 in the 11-limit; 65/64, 66/65, and 78/77 in the 13-limit; 51/50 and 85/84 in the 17-limit; 39/38, 57/56, 77/76, and 96/95 in the 19-limit; 69/68 and 92/91 in the 23-limit; 58/57 and 87/85 in the 29-limit; 63/62, 93/92, and 93/91 in the 31-limit; and 75/74 in the 37-limit.

=== Commas ===

This tuning [[tempers out]] 36/35 and 50/49 in the [[7-limit]]; 33/32 and 45/44 in the 11-limit; 65/64, 66/65, and 78/77 in the 13-limit; 51/50 and 85/84 in the 17-limit; 39/38, 57/56, 77/76, and 96/95 in the 19-limit; 69/68 and 92/91 in the 23-limit; 58/57 and 87/85 in the 29-limit; 63/62, 93/92, and 93/91 in the 31-limit; and 75/74 in the 37-limit.

=== Harmonics ===

16edo’s [[harmonic]]s 3/1, 11/1 and 17/1 are all more than 25 cents away from [[just]], making them unusable for most purposes. 57ed12 improves upon all of their tunings, bringing all those harmonics within 16 cents of just, and bringing 11 and 17 within an impressive 1 cent of just. This dramatically increases the number of [[consonant]] intervals and chords available in the tuning.

The trade-off is that 57ed12’s 7/1 is significantly worse than 16edo. It has almost 28 cents of error, compared to 6, making it go from very consonant to completely unusable. So, if one intends to use harmonies involving 7s, 57ed12 is not a good choice. But if one is interested in the [[5-limit]], the 2.3.5.11 [[subgroup]], or the no-7s [[13-limit]] or [[17-limit]]s, then 57ed12 is by far the superior option, thanks to its dramatically improved 3/1 and 11/1.
