For higher harmonics, 1789edo can be adapted for use with the 2.9.5.21.11.13.29.31.47.59.61 subgroup. Perhaps the most notable fact about 1789edo is that it [[tempering out|tempers out]] the jacobin comma ([[6656/6655]]), and it is also consistent on the subgroup 2.5.11.13 of the comma, which is quite appropriate for edo's number. Although there are temperaments which are better suited for tempering this comma, 1789edo is unique in that its number is the hallmark year of the French Revolution, thus making the tempering of the jacobin comma on topic. | For higher harmonics, 1789edo can be adapted for use with the 2.9.5.21.11.13.29.31.47.59.61 subgroup.

1789bd val, {{Val|1789 '''2836''' 4154 '''5023'''}} is better tuned than the patent val, and it tempers out 67108864/66976875, 48828125/48771072, 96889010407/96855122250. | |||

1789edo can be used for the finite "French decimal" temperament—that is, where all the interval targets in just intonation are expressed as terminating decimals. For example, [[5/4]], [[25/16]], [[128/125]], [[32/25]], 625/512, etc. | 1789edo can be used for the finite "French decimal" temperament—that is, where all the interval targets in just intonation are expressed as terminating decimals.

Since the 5/4 of 1789edo is on the 576th step, a highly divisible number, 1789edo can replicate a lot of [[ed5/4]] temperaments—more exactly those which are divisors of 576, and that includes all from [[2ed5/4]] to [[9ed5/4]], skipping [[7ed5/4]]. One such scale which stands for [[4ed5/4]], is a tuning for the [[hemiluna]] temperament in the 1789bd val in the 13-limit | Since the 5/4 of 1789edo is on the 576th step, a highly divisible number, 1789edo can replicate a lot of [[ed5/4]] temperaments—more exactly those which are divisors of 576, and that includes all from [[2ed5/4]] to [[9ed5/4]], skipping [[7ed5/4]].

1789edo has an essentially perfect [[9/8]], a very common interval. 1789edo supports the 2.9.5.11.13 subgroup temperament called ''commatose'' which uses the Pythagorean comma as a generator, which is excess of six 9/8s over the octave in this case. It is defined as a {{nowrap|460 & 1789}} temperament. | 1789edo has an essentially perfect [[9/8]], a very common interval. 1789edo supports the 2.9.5.11.13 subgroup temperament called ''commatose'' which uses the Pythagorean comma as a generator, which is excess of six 9/8s over the octave in this case.
