Like [[80edo]], this may offer a relatively unexplored strategy of "tempered [[detempering]]", a sort of middle path between complete detempering to JI (which lacks the simplifications and unique comma pumping and structural opportunities of tempering) and not detempering the small edo at all (which can lead to challenging interpretation of harmony if one's goal is approximation to JI).

Some supersets of 90edo include: {{EDOs| 180, 270, 360, 450, 540, 630, 720, 810, 900... }}. Temperament mergers of these might produce [[90th-octave temperaments]] ''(see [[Fractional-octave temperaments]])''.

Of these, 270edo is notable for being the first to correct the tuning of harmonics [[3/1|3]], [[7/1|7]], [[11/1|11]], and [[19/1|19]] to near-just. Temperament mergers of these might produce [[90th-octave temperaments]] ''(see [[Fractional-octave temperaments]])''.
