27edo, with its 400 cent major third, tempers out the lesser diesis, [[128/125]], and the septimal comma, [[64/63]], and hence [[126/125]] as well. These it shares with 12edo, making some relationships familiar, and they both support the [[augene]] temperament. It shares with [[22edo]] tempering out the allegedly Bohlen-Pierce comma [[245/243]] as well as 64/63, so that they both support the [[superpyth]] temperament, with four quite sharp "superpythagorean" fifths giving a sharp [[9/7]] in place of meantone's 5/4. | 27edo, with its 400 cent major third, tempers out the lesser diesis, [[128/125]], and the septimal comma, [[64/63]], and hence [[126/125]] as well.

Though 27edo's [[7-limit]] tuning is not highly accurate, it nonetheless is the smallest equal division to represent the 7-odd-limit both [[consistent]]ly and distinctly—that is, everything in the [[7-odd-limit]] diamond is uniquely represented by a certain number of steps of 27edo. It also represents the 13th harmonic very well, and performs quite decently as a 2.3.5.7.13.19 (no-11s, no-17s 19-limit) temperament. It also approximates [[19/10]], [[19/12]], and [[19/14]], so {{dash|0, 7, 13, 25|med}} does quite well as a 10:12:14:19 chord, with the major seventh 25\27 being less than one cent off from 19/10.

Octave-inverted, these also form a quite convincing approximation of the main Bohlen–Pierce triads, 3:5:7 and 5:7:9, making 27 the smallest edo that can simulate tritave harmony, although it rapidly becomes rough if extended to the 11 and above, unlike a true tritave based system. | ||
Its step, as well as the octave-inverted and octave-equivalent versions of it, has some of the highest [[harmonic entropy]] possible and thus is, in theory, one of the most dissonant intervals possible, assuming the relatively common values of {{nowrap|''a'' {{=}} 2}} and {{nowrap|''s'' {{=}} 1%}}. This property is shared with all edos between around 24 and 30. Intervals smaller than this tend to be perceived as unison and are more consonant as a result; intervals larger than this have less "tension" and thus are also more consonant. | Its step, as well as the octave-inverted and octave-equivalent versions of it, has some of the highest [[harmonic entropy]] possible and thus is, in theory, one of the most dissonant intervals possible, assuming the relatively common values of {{nowrap|''a'' {{=}} 2}} and {{nowrap|''s'' {{=}} 1%}}.

The 27-note system can be notated using [[ups and downs notation]], in which case arrows or [[Helmholtz-Ellis notation|Helmholtz–Ellis]] accidentals can be used, or with a variation on quarter tone accidentals. With standard [[circle-of-fifths notation]], a sharp raises a note by 4 steps, just one step beneath the following nominal (for example C to C♯ describes the approximate 10/9 and 11/10 interval) and the flat conversely lowers: these are augmented unisons and diminished unisons. Just so, one finds that an accidental can be divided in half, and the remaining places can then be filled in with half-sharps, half-flats, sesquisharps, and sesquiflats, reducing the need for double sharps and double flats.The notes from C to D are C, D♭, C{{demisharp2}}, D{{demiflat2}}, C♯, and D, with some ascending intervals appearing to be descending on the staff. | The 27-note system can be notated using [[ups and downs notation]], in which case arrows or [[Helmholtz-Ellis notation|Helmholtz–Ellis]] accidentals can be used, or with a variation on quarter tone accidentals.

Another notational implication is that, being a Superpythagorean system, the 5/4 major third present in the 4:5:6 chord is technically an augmented second, since (for example) | Another notational implication is that, being a Superpythagorean system, the 5/4 major third present in the 4:5:6 chord is technically an augmented second, since (for example) C–E is a 9/7 supermajor third and so the note located one major third above C must be notated as D♯ or E{{naturaldown}}. Conversely, the 6/5 minor third of a 10:12:15 chord is actually reached by a diminished fourth, since (for example) D–F is a 7/6 subminor third and so the note located one minor third above D must be notated as either G♭ or F{{naturalup}}. The composer can decide for themselves which additional accidental pair is appropriate if they will need redundancy to remedy these problems, and to keep the chromatic pitches within a compass on paper relative to the natural names (C, D, E etc.). Otherwise it is simple enough, and the same tendency for A♯ to be higher than B♭ is not only familiar, though here very exaggerated, to those working with the Pythagorean scale (see [[53edo]]), but also to many classically trained violinists. | ||
