m Garibaldi: this has erroneous information and the principles of extension are already discussed non-erroneously in the mention of cassandra and andromeda for 41edo. also, cassandra isnt necessarily the "best" as helenus is also a 23-limit temp judging by 53 & 65d

m removal of word "general" makes this a bit confusing to read and harder to understand what was intending to be communicated

Garibaldi is a very natural and very efficient (for its accuracy) way of bestowing prime 7 upon [[#Schismic]], at the cost of accuracy as needing a slightly sharper fifth tunes the 5-limit worse so that it is no longer a microtemperament. This is done by interpreting ([[9/8]])<sup>3</sup> as [[~]][[10/7]] by tempering out [[5120/5103|S8/S9]] so that 8/7 and 10/9 are equidistant from 9/8, with the step being a convenient tempered comma-sized interval that simultaneously not only represents not only [[64/63]] = S8 and [[81/80]] = S9 but also the [[Pythagorean comma]] (as per schismic), equal to (9/8)<sup>6</sup> / (2/1). [[41edo]] and [[53edo]] are slightly overtempered and undertempered for it respectively, so that [[94edo]] is pretty close to optimal, though it has a (barely) inconsistently flat [[~]][[25/16]] which is unbefitting of schismic. 94 + 41 = [[135edo]] and 94 + 53 = [[147edo]] also support it but with yet more inconsistencies due to the finer gamut, so it's worth checking the "Prime harmonics" tables to see if you're okay with the errors.

Which of 41edo and 53edo do better in the 7-limit depends on how you measure them and who you ask; therefore, a better way of choosing is based on whether you care more about prime 11 or prime 13:
