This tuning may be of interest to those who compose in larger edos as it is [[Consistency limit|consistent]] in the [[15-odd-limit]] and supports the [[Rank-2 temperament|rank-2]] [[74th-octave temperaments|74th-octave]] [[296edo|296]] & 518 temperament. This means it tempers out commas including [[9801/9800]] and 5250987/5242880, the [[Mitonisma|mitonisma]].
518edo is [[Consistency limit|consistent]] in the [[15-odd-limit]] and is an exceptionally strong 2.3.11 subgroup tuning, where it tempers out the [[frameshift comma]].
 
In the 5-limit, it tempers out the [[counterschisma]], {{monzo| -69 45 -1 }}, and is a strong tuning for the [[counterschismic]] temperament hence.

In the 11-limit, it tempers out [[5632/5625]], [[9801/9800]], as well as being a tuning for [[loki]].
 
In the 13-limit, 518edo tempers out [[1001/1000]], [[4096/4095]], 4496/4495, and it is a strong tuning for the 14th-octave [[silicon]] temperament.

518 equal divisions of the octave (abbreviated 518edo or 518ed2), also called 518-tone equal temperament (518tet) or 518 equal temperament (518et) when viewed under a regular temperament perspective, is the tuning system that divides the octave into 518 equal parts of about 2.32 ¢ each. Each step represents a frequency ratio of 21/518, or the 518th root of 2.

518edo is consistent in the 15-odd-limit and is an exceptionally strong 2.3.11 subgroup tuning, where it tempers out the frameshift comma.

In the 5-limit, it tempers out the counterschisma, [-69 45 -1, and is a strong tuning for the counterschismic temperament hence. In the 7-limit, it tempers out 1959552/1953125, 235298/234375, 420175/419904 and 5250987/5242880 (mitonisma). In the 11-limit, it tempers out 5632/5625, 9801/9800, as well as being a tuning for loki.

In the 13-limit, 518edo tempers out 1001/1000, 4096/4095, 4496/4495, and it is a strong tuning for the 14th-octave silicon temperament.

The 518c val, 518 821 1202 1454 1792], though less accurate, is of theoretical interest as well because it tunes quintilipyth and compass.
