The circle-of-fifths notation is suitable to open up the variety of tones of a selection of EDOs. The principle is based on one of the intervals taking over the role of the fifth of the traditional classical notation system of music (in 12-EDO or the meantone tuning). The classical notation system uses 7 root notes and 5 different accidentals (neutral, sharp, flat, double sharp, and double flat, of which the neutral can be regarded as implicit). From this basic material, 35 different pitches can be constructed; accordingly, the system becomes impracticable beyond 35 EDO.

The EDOs that are best supported by this system are those whose fifth does not deviate too much from the pure fifth 3/2 (702 cent). These are(/include) 12, 17, 19, 22, 26, 29, 31, and 34edo.

EDO Fifth (cents) Delta Wholetone Accidental
12 7\12 (700.0) -2.0 2\12 1\12
17 10\17 (705.9) +3.9 3\17 2\17
19 11\19 (694.7) -7.2 3\19 1\19
22 13\22 (709.1) +7.1 4\22 3\22
26 15\26 (692.3) -9.6 4\26 1\26
29 17\29 (703.4) +1.5 5\29 3\29
31 18\31 (696.8) -5.2 5\31 2\31
