19edo's most salient characteristic is that, having an almost just minor third and perfect fifths and major thirds about seven cents flat, it serves as a good tuning for [[meantone]]. It is also suitable for [[magic|magic/muggles]] temperament, because five of its major thirds are equivalent to one of its twelfths. For all of these there are more optimal tunings: the fifth of 19edo is flatter than the usual for meantone, and [[31edo]] is more optimal. Similarly, the generating interval of magic temperament is a major third, and again 19edo's is flatter; [[41edo]] more closely matches it. It does make for a good tuning for muggles, but in 19edo it is the same as magic. 19edo's 7-step supermajor third can be used for [[sensi]], whose generator is a very sharp major third, two of which make an approximate 5/3 major sixth, though [[46edo]] is a better sensi tuning. | 19edo's most salient characteristic is that, having an almost just minor third and perfect fifths and major thirds about seven cents flat, it serves as a good tuning for [[meantone]].
