270 EDO felt underselled, i looked at some metrics for this EDO before, it is basically perfect as a 13-prime-limit system

added prime interval table to give an overview, some cleanup, links, lemma bold

The 270 equal division divides the octave into 270 equal parts of 4.4444 cents each. It is an extremely strong [[13-limit]] system, distinct and [[consistent]] through the [[15-odd-limit]] with all intervals in the 15-odd-limit being more in-tune than out-of-tune with 270edo with only the exception of 15/13 which barely misses (and which can be interpreted as the result of tempering [[676/675]]). This results in it being a record edo for [[Pepper ambiguity]] in the 11-, 13- and 15-odd-limits. It is [[The_Riemann_Zeta_Function_and_Tuning#Zeta EDO lists|the 11th zeta gap edo, the 13th zeta integral edo and the 23rd zeta peak edo]]. In the [[5-limit]] it tempers out the ennealimma, |1 -27 18>, the [[Vulture_family|vulture comma]], |24 -21 4>, and the [[Vishnuzmic_family|vishnuzma]] or semisuper comma, |23 6 -14>. In the [[7-limit]] it tempers out 2401/2400 and 4375/4374, so that it supports [[Ragismic_microtemperaments#Ennealimmal|ennealimmal temperament]], the wizma, 420175/419904 and the landscape comma, 250047/250000. In the [[11-limit|11-limit]], it tempers out 5632/5625, 3025/3024 and 9801/9800, meaning it tempers the 4 smallest [[List of superparticular intervals|superparticular]] commas in the 11-limit (2401/2400, 3025/3024, 4375/4374 and 9801/9800). Finally, in the [[13-limit]] it isn't quite as accurate but still very accurate, as it tempers out 676/675, 1001/1000, 1716/1715 and 2080/2079, making it an [[The_Archipelago|archipelago]] tuning, and the optimal patent val for some of the archipelago temperaments. On top of this, its step size is so small as to arguably give a good enough approximation for any relatively simple JI consonance, as the maximum error is only 2.2222c. If, however, you want an edo for very high-limit use, the obvious alternative choice is [[311edo]], which is in many ways dual to 270edo as it emphasizes consistency and accuracy in very high-prime-limit and high-odd-limit situations at the expense of lower ones, and is a prime EDO as opposed to a highly composite one. While 270edo approximates the first 16 harmonics very accurately, 311edo approximates the first 42 but not as accurately - strongly favouring the approximation of as many harmonics as possible.

In the [[7-limit]] it tempers out [[2401/2400]] and [[4375/4374]], so that it supports [[ennealimmal]] temperament, the [[wizma]], 420175/419904 and the landscape comma, 250047/250000.

270 is a very composite number, with divisors 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 9, 10, 15, 18, 27, 30, 45, 54, 90 and 135, and some of these form the periods of the period and generators for some of rank two temperaments 270 supports; these include [[Ragismic_microtemperaments#Ennealimmal|ennealimmal]], hemiennealimmal and [[The_Archipelago#Rank two temperaments|decitonic]]. This means that 270edo can be conceptualised as the superset/intersection of, for example, [[10edo]] and [[27edo]], which are both interesting and somewhat peculiar in their own right.
