36edo is also notable for being the smallest multiple of 12edo to be [[distinctly consistent]] in the [[7-odd-limit]] (that is, all 7-odd-limit just intervals are represented by different steps).

36edo has almost 50% relative error on harmonics 5/1 and 11/1. This means that whether one [[octave stretch|stretches]] or [[octave shrinking|compresses]] the octave, either way it will improve 36edo's approximations of [[JI]], but in opposite directions, as long as it is done by the right amount, as discussed in more detail in [[36edo#~~Octave_stretch_or_compression~~|octave stretch or compression]].

36edo's patent val, like 12, tempers out 81/80, 128/125, and 648/625 in the 5-limit. It departs from 12 in the 7-limit, tempering out 686/675 and 1029/1000, and as a no-fives temperament, 1029/1024 and 118098/117649. The no-fives temperament tempering out 1029/1024, [[slendric]], is well supported by 36edo, its generator of ~8/7 represented by 7 steps of 36edo. In the 11-limit, the patent val tempers out 56/55, 245/242, and 540/539, and is the [[optimal patent val]] for the rank four temperament tempering out 56/55, as well as the rank ~~three~~ temperament [[~~Didymus rank three family|~~melpomene]] tempering out 81/80 and 56/55. In the 13-limit, it tempers out 78/77 and 91/90, in the 17-limit 51/50, and in the 19-limit 76/75 and 96/95.

In the 13-limit, it tempers out 78/77 and 91/90, in the 17-limit 51/50, and in the 19-limit 76/75 and 96/95.

As a 5-limit temperament, the patent val for 36edo is [[contorted]], meaning there are notes of it which cannot be reached from the unison using only 5-limit intervals.
