256 equal divisions of the 5th harmonic is an equal-step tuning of 10.884 cents per each step. It is equivalent to 110.2532 EDO.

256ed5 combines dual-fifth temperaments with quarter-comma meantone.

Theory

Approximation of prime harmonics in 256 e.d. 5
Prime 2 3 5 7 11 13 17 19 23
Error (rc) +25 -26 0 -48 +41 -1 -34 +35 -26

In 256ed5, the just perfect fifth of 3/2, corresponds to approximately 64.5 steps, thus occurring almost halfway between the quarter-comma meantone fifth and it's next step.
