[[Rank two temperaments]] it supports include [[sensi]], [[valentine]], [[shrutar]], [[rodan]], [[leapday]] and [[unidec]]. The [[11-limit]] [[Target_tunings|minimax]] tuning for valentine temperament, (11/7)<sup>1/10</sup>, is only 0.01 cents flat of 3\46 octaves. In the opinion of some, 46et is the first equal division to deal adequately with the [[13-limit]], though others award that distinction to [[41edo]]. In fact, while 41 is a [[The_Riemann_Zeta_Function_and_Tuning #Zeta EDO lists|zeta integral edo]] but not a [[The_Riemann_Zeta_Function_and_Tuning #Zeta EDO lists|zeta gap edo]], 46 is zeta gap but not zeta integral.

The fifth of 46 equal is 2.39 cents sharp, which some people (e.g. [[Margo Schulter]]) prefer, sometimes strongly, over both the [[3/2|just fifth]] and fifths of temperaments with flat fifths, such as meantone. It gives a characteristic bright sound to triads, distinct from the mellowness of a meantone triad.
