One step of 13edo is very close to [[135/128]] by direct approximation (it is a [[Wikipedia:Continued_fraction|semiconvergent]]).

The 5-limit [[aluminium]] temperament (supported by [[65edo]], [[494edo]] and [[1547edo]]) realizes this proximity through a regular temperament perspective, combining the sound of 13edo with the simplicity of 5-limit JI. (See [[regular temperament]] for more about what this means and how to use it.)  A notable smaller superset is [[26edo]], which is a good [[flattone]] tuning, although its step has very high harmonic entropy.

An intermediate-sized superset is [[39edo]], which corrects some harmonics better and has a step size with less harmonic entropy than [[26edo]], while having a more manageable number of notes than 65edo.
