Unlisted strong 7-limit Meantone extension (provisional name Mildtone)?: Looking at the 13-limit a bit more -- maybe no-13s is the way to go for the next higher limit(s)?

:::: Those are some monster-high Badness values, for sure.  But I went to the [[Lumatone mapping for 55edo]], and although I am not a Lumatone player, while the finger stretches with the Bosanquet layout look extremely awkward, the finger positionings with the 6L 1s layout actually look quite doable (or only mildly awkward) even for somebody with average hands, although I'll admit to having not yet analyzed more than a couple of chords that would include 11/8 and/or 13/8 (only had time for just a cursory inspection so far).  Haven't seen a [[Lumatone mapping for 67edo]] yet, but since Bosanquet isn't going to work for this anyway, maybe whatever layout somebody eventually does come up (this won't even be the highest EDO with a Lumatone mapping, by a longshot) with will have those intervals be usable as well  [[User:Lucius Chiaraviglio|Lucius Chiaraviglio]] ([[User talk:Lucius Chiaraviglio|talk]]) 20:25, 6 January 2025 (UTC)

:::: Looked at this a little bit more, and seeing that the 13th harmonic is very badly represented by the remaining EDOs other than 67EDO (even when considered independently of any rank-2+ temperaments), maybe the thing to do is declare no-13s when checking higher limits?  And then Worsetone could be the name for the version that doesn't exclude the 13th harmonic?  [[User:Lucius Chiaraviglio|Lucius Chiaraviglio]] ([[User talk:Lucius Chiaraviglio|talk]]) 10:04, 8 January 2025 (UTC)
