The tunings supplied by [[72edo]] cannot be used for all low-limit just intervals, but they can be used on the 17-limit [[k*N subgroups|3*24 subgroup]] 2.3.125.35.11.325.17 [[just intonation subgroup]], making some of the excellent approximations of 72 available in 24edo. Chords based on this subgroup afford considerable scope for harmony, including in particular intervals and chords using only 2, 3, 11, 17, and 19. Expanding this, one will find that 24edo is consistent in the no-7s 19-odd-limit, though the 2.3.11.17.19 [[subgroup]] is where it is the most accurate.

Its step, at 50 cents, is notable for ~~having some of the highest [[harmonic entropy]] possible, making it~~, in theory, one of the most dissonant intervals possible (using the relatively common values of {{nowrap|''a'' {{=}} 2}} and {{nowrap|''s'' {{=}} 1%}}, the peak occurs at around 46.4 cents). Intervals less than 40 cents tend to be perceived as being closer to a unison, and thus, more consonant as a result, while intervals larger than approximately 60 cents are often perceived as having less "tension", and thus are also considered to be more consonant.
