In "Harmonics or the Philosophy of Musical Sounds" (1759) by Robert Smith, a musical temperament is described where the octave is divided into 50 equal parts - 50edo, in one word. Later W. S. B. Woolhouse noted it was fairly close to the [[Target tunings|least squares]] tuning for 5-limit meantone. 50, however, is especially interesting from a higher limit point of view. While [[31edo]] extends meantone with a 7/4 which is nearly pure, 50 has a flat 7/4 but both 11/8 and 13/8 are nearly pure.

50 tempers out 126/125 in the 7-limit, indicating it supports septimal meantone; 245/242, 385/384 and 540/539 in the 11-limit and  105/104, 144/143 and 196/195 in the 13-limit, and can be used for even higher limits. Aside from meantone, it can be used to advantage for the 15&amp;50 temperament.
