//26edo// divides the [[octave]] into 26 equal parts of 46.154 [[cent]]s each. It tempers out 81/80 in the [[5-limit]], making it a meantone tuning with a very flat fifth. In the [[7-limit]], it tempers out 50/49, 525/512 and 875/864, and supports [[Meantone family|injera]] and [[Meantone family|flattone]] temperaments. It really comes into its own as a higher-limit temperament, being the smallest equal division which represents the [[13-limit|13 odd limit]] [[consistent| consistent]]ly. 26edo has a very good approximation of the harmonic seventh ([[7_4|7/4]]). | //26edo// divides the [[octave]] into 26 equal parts of 46.154 [[cent]]s each.

Orgone has a minimax tuning which sharpens both 7 and 11 by 1/5 of an orgonisma, or 1.679 cents. This makes the generator g a 77/64 sharp by 2/5 of the orgonisma.

Since the perfect 5th in 26-EDO spans 15 degrees, it can be divided into three equal parts (each approximately an 8/7) as well as five equal parts (each approximately a 13/12). The former approach produces MOS at 1L+4s, 5L+1s, and 5L+6s (5 5 5 5 6, 5 5 5 5 5 1, and 4 1 4 1 4 1 4 1 4 1 1 respectively), and is excellent for 4:6:7 triads. The latter produces MOS at 1L+7s and 8L+1s (3 3 3 3 3 3 3 5 and 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 2 respectively), and is fairly well-supplied with 4:6:7:11:13 pentads. It also works well for more conventional (thought further from Just) 6:7:9 triads, as well as 4:5:6 triads that use the worse mapping for 5 (making 5/4 the 415.38-cent interval).<br /> | Since the perfect 5th in 26-EDO spans 15 degrees, it can be divided into three equal parts (each approximately an 8/7) as well as five equal parts (each approximately a 13/12).
