In the diagrams above, a sagittal symbol followed by an equals sign (=) means that the following comma is the symbol's [[Sagittal notation#Primary comma|primary comma]] (the comma it ''exactly'' represents in JI), while an approximately equals sign (≈) means it is a secondary comma (a comma it ''approximately'' represents in JI). In both cases the symbol exactly represents the tempered version of the comma in this EDO.

== Octave stretch or compression ==

54edo’s approximations of 3/1, 5/1, 7/1, 11/1, 13/1, 17/1, 19/1 and 23/1 are all improved by [[ed6|139ed6]], a [[Octave stretch|stretched-octave]] version of 54edo. The trade-off is a slightly worse 2/1 and 19/1.

If one prefers a ''[[Octave shrinking|compressed-octave]]'' tuning instead, [[86edt]], [[ed5|126ed5]] and [[ed7|152ed7]] are possible choices. They improve upon 54edo’s 3/1, 5/1, 7/1 and 17/1, at the cost of its 2/1, 11/1 and 13/1.

What follows is a comparison of stretched- and compressed-octave 54edo tunings.

; [[ed6|139ed6]]

* Octave size: 1205.08{{c}}

Stretching the octave of 54edo by around 5{{c}} results in improved primes 3, 5, 7, 11, 13 and 17, but a worse prime 2. This approximates all harmonics up to 16 within 10.15{{c}}. The tuning 139ed6 does this. So does the tuning 262zpi whose octave is identical to 139ed6 within 0.2{{c}}.

Stretching the octave of 54edo by around 4.5{{c}} results in improved primes 3, 5, 7, 11, 13 and 17, but a worse prime 2. This approximates all harmonics up to 16 within 11.12{{c}}. The tuning 151ed7 does this.
