The '''circle-of-fifths notation''' is suitable to open up the variety of tones of a selection of [[edo]]s and [[regular temperament]]s of fifth generator. The principle is based on one of the intervals taking over the role of the fifth of the traditional classical notation system (in [[12edo]] or the [[meantone]] tuning). The classical notation system uses seven root notes and accidentals (<span style="font-size:larger">♯, ♭</span> and their multiples) to sharpen and flatten these root notes by the same amount (which is an octave-reduced stack of 7 fifths).

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}}) and that can be represented by only one ring of fifths. 24edo, as a counter-example to this, contains two rings. If we as well demand that whole tones (2 × P5 - P8), diatonic semitones (3 × P8 - 5 × P5), and chromatic semitones (shifts caused by one accidental, 7 × P5 - 4 × P8), use a positive number of steps, we exclude all edos below 12 and also {{EDOs| 13, 16, 18, and 23 }}. They make more sense notated as subsets. For example, 13edo can be notated as a subset of [[26edo]].

The circle-of-fifths notation is suitable to open up the variety of tones of a selection of edos and regular temperaments of fifth generator. The principle is based on one of the intervals taking over the role of the fifth of the traditional classical notation system (in 12edo or the meantone tuning). The classical notation system uses seven root notes and accidentals (♯, ♭ and their multiples) to sharpen and flatten these root notes by the same amount (which is an octave-reduced stack of 7 fifths).

Edos that are best supported by this system are those whose fifth does not deviate too much from the pure fifth 3/2 (702 ¢) and that can be represented by only one ring of fifths. 24edo, as a counter-example to this, contains two rings. If we as well demand that whole tones (2 × P5 - P8), diatonic semitones (3 × P8 - 5 × P5), and chromatic semitones (shifts caused by one accidental, 7 × P5 - 4 × P8), use a positive number of steps, we exclude all edos below 12 and also 13, 16, 18, and 23. They make more sense notated as subsets. For example, 13edo can be notated as a subset of 26edo.

The neutral circle-of-fifths notation uses an extended accidental set including demisharps and demiflats. It works for any tuning system generated by a neutral third. The mohaha temperament and its typical edo tunings (17edo, 24edo, 31edo, 38edo, 45edo) are well represented by this system.

Edos up to 100

Edos up to 100 are listed in the following tables. The unit (if not stated otherwise) is steps of the corresponding edo which is given in the first column of each row. The list contains only those edos whose all degrees can be reached by stacking the direct approximation of the fifth in the respective edo.
