Line 203:

: '''Fumica:''' The error of the fifth is getting quite large for its step size, particularly if you compare it with 10edo. Either this or 10edo can be viewed as the opposite of 14edo, so I think of this as the direct competitor of 10edo. As for which I prefer? I have no idea. A-tier.

: '''Vector:''' A shining example of why the chain of fifths is not suitable as a universal model. 15edo has a diatonic scale (the zarlino scale of 2313231) that makes for a much more familiar interpretation of the tuning than inflecting the 5edo notes up and down. In terms of just intonation, it approximates simple intervals of the 11-limit, and tempers the infamous zarlino wolf fifth flat enough that it merges with the concordant 11th subharmonic, thereby solving the main problem that zarlino itself has.

: '''Budjarn Lambeth:''' Offers exciting melodic shapes. Still requires careful attention to timbre, but it's more forgiving on that front than most similar sized tunings. The smallest equal tuning that approximates the entire [[11-limit]].

: '''Budjarn Lambeth:''' Offers exciting melodic shapes. Still requires careful attention to timbre, but it's more forgiving on that front than most similar sized tunings. The smallest equal tuning that approximates the entire [[11-limit]], so it's a great starting point for exploring new consonances which can't be found in 12.
