Additionally, many triads are tuned very close to [[delta-rational]] tunings, which may make them sound less out of tune as well. For examples, the approximations of the triads [[4:5:6]], [[10:12:15|1/(6:5:4)]], [[6:7:9]], and [[14:18:21|1/(9:7:6)]] are very close to DR tunings. Voicings of chords that divide the fourth, those being [[6:7:8]], [[21:24:28|1/(8:7:6)]], [[9:10:12]], and [[15:18:20|1/(12:10:9)]], are also tuned fairly close to DR.

However, using two mappings of the perfect fifth presents several problems. For example, in JI, there are the [[10:12:15:18]] and [[12:14:18:21]] chords and their inversions, known as [[anomalous saturated suspension]]s, which are dyadically consonant in the 9-odd-limit, even though they are not a subset of the 9-odd-limit otonal or utonal pentad. If we try to map, say, the 10:12:15:18 chord with steps 6/5–5/4–6/5–10/9 (closing at the octave) in 35edo, then the 10:12:15 part suggests mapping the fifth above the root at 20\35, while the 10:15:18 part suggests mapping it to 21\35. As such, one of the 6/5–5/4–6/5–10/9 steps must be mapped to its second-best approximation, close to 3/4 of a 35edo step (about 25 cents) off of just. A similar issue occurs with 12:14:18:21, where one of the 7/6–9/7–7/6–8/7 steps must be mapped to its second-best approximation. Many other chords, such as [[8:10:12:15]], also cannot be mapped without a step being close to 3/4 of a 35edo step off.

Additionally, many structures present in systems with a single fifth do not work well in 35edo. For example, the perfect fifth generates several [[mos scale]], such as the traditional [[diatonic]] scale. The diatonic mos scale does not exist in 35edo, with the 20\35 whitewood fifth generating an [[equalized]] version of the scale, while the 21\35 fifth generates a [[collapsed]] version of the scale. However, there are scales such as 6 6 2 6 6 6 3 which sound similar to diatonic, and this particular scale can be obtained by alternately stacking 21\35 and 20\35 fifths, or [[Hobbled scale|hobbling]] a [[34edo]] or [[36edo]] diatonic scale.

35edo is only one of many dual-fifth systems, with others including [[18edo]], [[23edo]], [[25edo]], [[28edo]], [[30edo]], [[37edo]], and [[40edo]], each with their own unique properties.
