*[[22edo|22]]: The simplest non-meantone EDO with reasonable 5-limit. Good [[superpyth]] and [[porcupine]] tuning. The upper bound of a good fifth.

*[[50edo|50]]: Flatter meantone than [[31edo]], but I usually use [[golden meantone]] (with slight octave stretching) for this range.

*[[53edo|53]]: Almost just [[3/2]], and accurate [[7-limit]]. Purely an approximation of JI and not many efficient temperaments are supported. Good for 5-limit [[schismatic]] with occasional [[garibaldi]] [[7/1|7]].

*[[72edo|72]]: An excellent extension of 12- and 24edo. Good for [[miracle]]. The relative error of primes is within 1/3 steps up to large primes except a few including 13, 53 and 59. Suitable for octave stretching in 17-limit.

*[[74edo|74]]: [[37edo]] with meantone fifths. The intrinsic error of meantone becomes a problem at this size, making [[9/1|9]] inconsistent.

*[[99edo|99]]: Efficient near-[[Logarithmic approximants#Argent temperament|argent]] EDO. Suggests slight compression. Good for [[hemififths]].

*[[118edo|118]]: The relationship of 53-118-171edo for [[schismatic]] is similar to 12-19-31edo for meantone. 53 and 12 are the simplest reasonable EDO with very mildly tempered fifths, 118 and 19 are better over all but a bit overtempered (outside 5-odd-limit [[diamond tradeoff]]), and 171 and 31 are ideal. So like 19, I won't use it much.
