[[12edo|12]] (aka [[19edt]], "standard semitones") - Excellent 5-limit temperament with strong hints of 7. The ideal tuning for the wildly popular [[dominant]] temperament. Also [[augmented]] and [[diminished]]. Currently used as a basis for adaptive tuning, as well as directly, by a huge number of "non-xenharmonic" ensembles. | [[12edo|12]] (aka [[19edt]], "standard semitones") - Excellent 5-limit temperament with strong hints of 7.

[[13edo|13]] - Every other note of [[26edo|26]]. This makes it a good temperament for a large subgroup containing the primes 5, 11, and 13 (but not 3). Alternatively, the ~738 cent interval could be treated as 3/2, giving a few high-error 5-limit temperaments, including [[uncle]] and [[dicot]]. | [[13edo|13]] - Every other note of [[26edo|26]].

Pretty much misses "minor" and "major" thirds entirely, going straight from "subminor" to "neutral" to "supermajor", which makes it very xenharmonic (thought not necessarily *pleasant*). | ||
[[15edo|15]] (aka 24edt, "blackwood 1/3-tones") - Very interesting for [[blackwood]], [[porcupine]], and others. A good all-around EDO. If you want to internalize [[Porcupine intervals|porcupine interval categories]], use 15edo. | [[15edo|15]] (aka 24edt, "blackwood 1/3-tones") - Very interesting for [[blackwood]], [[porcupine]], and others.

[[16edo|16]] (aka 25edt, "armodue semitones") - [[Mavila]]/armodue; those Italians love it. Really versatile and interesting - if you don't mind the lack of reasonable 3/2s. On the other hand you can treat it as an all-encompassing gamelan EDO where the beating fifths are an advantage. (The one advantage it has over 9edo in this respect is its slendro approximation, [[gorgo]].) | [[16edo|16]] (aka 25edt, "armodue semitones") - [[Mavila]]/armodue; those Italians love it.
