[[24edo|24]] (aka 38edt, "standard 1/4-tones") - Very worthwhile, and underrated because of its long history of "microtonal" (rather than "xenharmonic") use. Really nails the 2.3.11 subgroup, and has all the familiar meantone harmony (and diatonic scale) of 12edo. The basis of much low-level maqam music theory (maqamat are often presented as quarter tones). | [[24edo|24]] (aka 38edt, "standard 1/4-tones") - Very worthwhile, and underrated because of its long history of "microtonal" (rather than "xenharmonic") use.

[[25edo|25]] (either "blackwood 1/5-tones" or "armodue 1/3-tones") - Can be treated in two different ways (blackwood or mavila/armodue) depending on which interval you consider "the fifth" or "3/2". Too many notes for either one of them - why not use 15 or 16 instead? | [[25edo|25]] (either "blackwood 1/5-tones" or "armodue 1/3-tones") - Can be treated in two different ways (blackwood or mavila/armodue) depending on which interval you consider "the fifth" or "3/2".

[[26edo|26]] (aka 41edt, "flattone 1/4-tones") - The forgotten meantone EDO, and the first true [[flattone]] EDO. Flattone is amazing because 8/7 and 7/6 are swapped from their roles in 7-limit meantone temperament, and because flattone[12] is much easier to hear as unequal than meantone[12]. Also has [[injera]] and [[cynder]]/[[mothra]]. | [[26edo|26]] (aka 41edt, "flattone 1/4-tones") - The forgotten meantone EDO, and the first true [[flattone]] EDO.

[[27edo|27]] (aka 43edt, "superpyth 1/5-tones") - First true [[tetracot]]/[[modus]] EDO. Otherwise, it has an interesting combination of things (superpyth, neutral thirds, augene, sensi), which, however, all exist in smaller EDOs.</pre></div> | [[27edo|27]] (aka 43edt, "superpyth 1/5-tones") - First true [[tetracot]]/[[modus]] EDO.
