The [[patent val]] of 66edo is [[contorted]] in the 5-limit, [[tempering out]] the same [[comma]]s ([[250/243]], [[2048/2025]], [[3125/3072]], etc.) as [[22edo]]. In the 7-limit it tempers out [[686/675]] and [[1029/1024]], in the 11-limit [[55/54]], [[100/99]] and [[121/120]], in the 13-limit [[91/90]], [[169/168]], [[196/195]] and in the 17-limit [[136/135]] and [[256/255]]. It provides the [[optimal patent val]] for the 11- and 13-limit [[ammonite]] temperament. Otherwise, 66edo is not exceptional when it comes to approximating prime harmonics; however, it contains a quite accurate approximation to the 5:7:9:11:13 chord and can therefore be used for various [[over-5]] scales.
