[[24edo]] allows both arto/tendo and minor/major chords to be used.   
Arto and tendo scales are difficult because the tendo third has to be on the same note as a fourth, and those are two very similar notes. As such, arto and tendo tonality is best used in scales with sharper fourths (and thus, flat fifths). 21edo provides reasonable tunings of these chords that can be used to build a scale, so does 16edo. 
Alternatively, one can temper the arto and tendo thirds together with the major second and fourth respectively. A JI interpretation of this, assuming the canonical JI tunings of the thirds, is [[fendo]] temperament. 15edo does this.
